When the customer gets a Nano in their hot little hands for $2.50,
the manufacturer might be getting half that.?
Spending a buck or so on a processor is a very big deal.?
Especially with 100,000 hobbyists scouring ebay for a listing that's $0.05 less.
You wouldn't think they would bother with cheating on IRF510's either, $0.50 on Mouser.

Most Nano clones seem to work amazingly well.
But I can easily believe there's some that aren't quite so amazing.

Based on volume prices I cannot see why they would use scrapings.
The 328 in the 32pin smt is a dirt cheap part, even digikey get only 1.245$ at 100pcs and
it gets under a buck at higher volumes (5000 piece reel).? Digikey is not the cheapest around.
