You can't even sell merchandise on Amazon without significant risk they will like your numbers enough to muscle you out:

I've found anything more complex than an adapter or cable to be of inferior quality with Amazon Basics, and rarely buy those options anymore.

The mini condenser microphones are actually REALLY good and on par with Yeti and other $100+ mics.

According to reviews that's a lowly electret microphone capsule ($1) in a big housing. For podcasting you want a directional microphone. In defense of electrets, they sound great, but pick up everything.

The shape of the microphone suggests it's a directional microphone (and if you read the reviews, people think it is directional). That's perhaps not a scam, but certainly deceptive.

Their low discharge nimh batteries were/are pretty good for the money. Though, most of mine are old, so I don’t have good current data on the quality.

Even apart from AmazonBasics, if you've found established a niche product that sells well as a merchant on Amazon, you can be sure that Amazon will swoop in and undercut you ASAP.
