problem with a vendor, but I do check out their ratings and reviews first.


I've found Amazon's ratings to be unreliable. This after shopping on
Amazon fer yrs. I even used to have Prime. No more.

I bought a banjo stand based on over 100+ reviews that gave the item a
five star rating. I ordered it, based soley on its Amazon rating and it's
basically a piece of junk. The reviews had to be bogus.

I wonder if some people would know good from bad at times. I figure no
matter how good an item is, someone will always dislike it so one or two
bad ratings won't dissuade me. OTOH, if a third of the ratings are 1
star, I'll pass.
