It's possible that HF and this vendor are buying identical items from
the same Chinese manufacturer and that the pictures come from the
manufacturer. HF buys in far larger quantities and can buy and sell for
a lower price.

BTW, until little more than a couple of centuries ago "trade" (i.e.,
buying at one price and selling at a higher price) was considered
immoral. (It's not illegal, of course, but "legal" is not the same as
"moral.") Making, building, repairing, producing were OK, but not trading.
