Take this video I came across. These mini toasters used to be $10 originally on Amazon and Ebay, yet have now jumped to $30 despite being identical in quality and make. I am almost certain the UL sticker on the bottom is stretched out with a few golden samples.

These ovens are very small, but also very poor quality and dangerous. Every electrical connection is spot soldiered on incorrectly ready to come off, the shell housing is too thin, the heating element coils touch and short out in certain places in others to far apart, there is no thermal fuse, no equipment ground, no grease on the door hinges, no spring guards, neon is just glued in place, screws stripped out in certain places. Knock off switch timer.
Yes the oven might work for a few months in most cases (might), but given the atrocious quality and hazardous build these are certainly not worth $30. The most I'd pay is $12 if I am feeling really generous.
I wish people would call out such junk for the price gouging that it is.
