Bosma / Baytronix question

Hi all,
My wife is collecting coins and looking to buy a stereo microscope with low power magnification. Since this is only a hobby, normal price brand ala Zeiss and Bausch-lomb are frankly out of the question.
While researching, I came across the "brand" Baytronix, sold by Ebayer Taximarket. Looking further, it appears the real manufacturer is Guangzhou Bosma in China. http://bosma.com.cn
I understand that we should not expect the same level of craftmanship than that of the better brands, and a lot of amateur astronomers warn about cheap Ebay telescopes from the same Chinese outfit.
As far as microscopes are concerned, I would appreciate any feedback you guys could provide us, since I could only find the usual paid-for-reviews online.

Thank you in advance
Yves
