I've heard of some Chinese Merchants sending off the wall stuff to unsuspecting folks and then giving themselves 5 Star Reviews.

Yes, a scam. The higher reviews the farther up the search ladder they go, meaning they get more hits/purchases or whatever.

Doesn’t that make it appear to be a “verified purchaser” review?

I would assume that to be true. I have also been promised gift cards for leaving 5 Star Reviews. I leave quite a few reviews but they are honest and subjective and only sent after I have used the item. Some of these people want reviews before you even receive the item.

This might be my review: ‘I’ll use it as soon as I get it if it ever arrives. But, I’m sure I’ll need another gift card by then.”

Can you cash in a gift card? That might be lucrative. :scratchchin:

My wife's email was attac hed to Amazon so I never even knew they solicited reviews. I used to wonder why people went out of their way to write a review, " I don't know, I haven't used it yet"

What is this rare, elusive item?

It's what they call a 'cable gland'. Ordered two of each of three sizes, along with a couple of outdoor weatherproof boxes. Ordered grey to match the boxes All six said 'in stock' at the time, but so far only five of the six have shipped.
