russh··on 15 Years of SparkFun
I very rarely have an issue with a sparkfun product. The "Dents and Dings" boards are boards that failed QA that they sell cheap as-is without warranty. After examining a couple hundred "Dents and Dings" boards I'd say they are very strict when it comes to QA.
russh··on 15 Years of SparkFun
It took me years to break my "Dings and Dents" module addiction. Some weeks I'd even send in multiple orders while telling myself this will be the last time. It was too entertaining trying to figure out why each board didn't pass QA and how they could be fixed using parts from pervious orders.

I learned a lot.
