In my professional life, I have. But not retail products. In my private life, I haven't; I pretty much make everything myself.
I don't know that I'd dare to sell retail products to anyone these days. For the same reasons many appliance manufactures are considering a lease-only rather than buy-to-own model.
I think if Pine64 didn't evaluate their products before going to market, we'd have a much worse situation. It seems more like there is less than optimal quality control. I started buying Pine64 products with this in mind. For the things I buy, if I can't fix them myself, I'll deal with the loss. Caveat emptor. I simply don't buy a lot of modern things brand new. Too many times I've bought things brand new and I get the one defective one out of a million. The second-hand market is awesome.
