These Americans riskily bought a $2,000 engine from Alibaba, and when they unboxed it, it was not as advertised at all.
The YouTube channel Donut bought a Chinese SJZ and had it shipped in, with the suspicion that it might be too good to be true.
It took weeks to arrive, but the question remained – was this a bargain or a bust?
