hmm, might be easier to know what you're looking for. Amazon always has a good return policy. The middle one might be better than the cheapest. What site are you looking at?
You can always google (sitename) reviews or (sitename) scams to see what others are saying.
When I think a product/offer is too good to be true or suspect, I google "is XXXXX a scam?"
This usually yields some good information, especially if other customers have complained.

You can try seeing if the small, unknown site is reviewed here:
I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. Sometimes you are paying for a name brand's advertising budget. Much of the time you are paying for cheaper materials and poor workmanship.
A bit of follow up. I did a search for comp. name and checked review for age. Reviews went back 3+ yrs. So I ordered the item. Of course there was trouble. I tried calling the customer DISSERVICE dept. line always busy, so I tried email? Still waiting.
@DaveSchmidt, I used trustpilot, like it, joined and wrote a review of comp. Thanks for that idea. Thanks every body
Several years ago I wanTed to buy a generic piece of gear. Name brands were $75 from large known sites. Respected 2nd fier mfr. was about $55-60. I found a no name mfr for $40. I decided it wasn,t important enough to worry about mfr. and brand names, etkc. You guessed it the low price was a scam. I reported to Vissa who took care of it.
I,m currently looking for another ‘no big deal’ item. Scamazon $19, with a long delivery time. Walmart $17 with longer turn around. Small, unknown site $10 very fast delivery. Since it,s asmall price I,m willing to take a gamble.
