Has anyone here visited Shenzhen? The electronics culture there is strong, since all the factories are there and it's so easy to get parts.

Pic related; it's some guy who manufactures electronics in his own home. http://www.hoektronics.com/2013/01/05/meet-a-shenzhen-maker-mr-chen/

why? you'd also need to make/buy the boards somewhere which is the biggest problem.
then you'd need an oven to bake the boards after placing and soldering equipment to correct places where the tin didn't flow as intended.

I'm not the guy you asked but I've had good experiences with aliexpress. It's usually cheaper than ebay, delivery can take a while though...
