Just because something is cheap, it doesn't mean it's crap: I can think of a hundred useful things I could do with this tiny $15 LED badge, which has a 21x7 resolution and enough memory to hold 6 messages (512 characters long on the first, 256 for the rest.)

But I want it in green.

Looking at the back, I think you're right. The crapvendors are often dropshipping and don't actually know what they're selling themselves.
