The Scopestuff web site has these no name wide field eye pieces for $39. I just wondered if anyone knows if these are total crap or not. Thanks.

As Ron said, these eyepieces are identical to the Orion Expanse series.
I have the 6, 9, and 15 mm version, bought when they were first available.
For the money, these are great eyepieces, a 66 degree FOV and sharp in the center, adequately sharp to the edge, I use them exclusively, replacing various plossls (including Ultima's) and UO orthos.
The only issue is some ghosting, especially in the 6 mm but it seems that the newer ones do not suffer from this.
A great deal for some decent eyepieces.
Here is a new player in the field:
