Seriously it's a very big mistake no matter how much cheap they sell the hardware. This is because I believe that the price is going to be one of the biggest consideration for those who are going to be willing to buy such and it is a very big mistake. They are after something bigger and it's your assest.

This is true and I am glad that when I decided to buy such a wallet, I was already quite experienced and did not do it because there were no official representatives of a certain company in my country and I needed to buy this hard wallet. And I had to wait 6 months before the company started selling officially than buying from any intermediaries
