Cheap Speedlite Softboxes

[Frogbad]

Does anyone have any experience with the cheap speedlite softboxes that are for sale on a well known auction site? I saw that there were some 60cm x 60cm softboxes for sale for £35 are they any good or should I plump for the lastolite one at £80?

I bought a cheapy 60 x 60 softbox on this well known auction site and I can tell you it's the biggest load of c*** ever!!! :bonk:

I bought item #260562704776 from eBay at £63 and have to say it is great value and exactly what I needed. It is LARGE at 80cm but that just helps give you a wide source of light. Better than my Bowens 60cm softbox in fact.

I plumbed for that one as the seller used great images to describe the product (knew exactly what I was getting). It was this reason that I did not purchase the Lastolite version and looked on eBay in the first instance.
