Not at all just some of us on here sell stuff and there has to be a diffence in price from trade to retail same as if i bought say 10 lockers over then have to sit on them until they sell
like me selling diesel conversions and telling people the price of the materials then suddenly thats what people will exspect to pay.

Well, I've installed more than three dozens of those chineese lockers. Most of all - RD208, Jimny rear. About ten RD206, front one.
They work fine.
There're were several failures:
1. One RD209 came with spoiled inner seal.
This one...
2. One compressor with broken piston.
3. Another one broke its shaft.
4. One RD206 don't disengages. Seems weak retain springs problem.
That's all, I think.
Since 2013 summer they produce almost perfect lockers - they're not binding as previous ones.
Here's a pic to compare. ARB(left) and chineese RD206:
To fit chineese RD206 you've got to work it out a little bit more - groove the bearing nut and 3rd member where the gear rotates:
The thing that disturbs most of all - they use both 6mm and 5mm tube and fittings. Got to keep both of them in stock.
As for strength - I've put them into Nissan Patrols' also. One of them runs 44" wheels, another - 36" Simex. Works ok for now.
