I bought a pair of esp8266 off Amazon for about £10 recently; they both look like some sort of knock-off, the PCBs are unbranded and the soldering looks somewhat less than perfect in places - however, both devices function perfectly.

I also have since bought a couple of ESP32 and think they are awesome.
