Unfortunately this has happened. My Dad gave up his business at the beginning of the spread of the internet, he saw the writing on the wall and bailed out before he lost money. I feel sorry for the person who bought his business, he went bankrupt within a couple of years
I'd rather have a tooth pulled than to go to Walmart ( ChinaMart) and other places in that bracket.I will pay the premium to shop next door if I can but, you cant always do that and it just drives me crazy. David, if every one out there knew how helpful you are to people in need on this forum, you would be putting the hurts on the big boys. It would be nice if you could partner with some of those on-line places and cut your over head a bit.
I agree Rich, but it seems no matter where you go all things are made in China. I spent $158 in tools at Lowe's and not one item I bought was made in any other country, they were all make in China. Seems like "made in USA" is fast becoming a lost cause. I purchase stuff made in America when ever I can and can afford it. For example, a new 24 inch 1/2 inch drive breaker bar made in America by SK was $75, I bought one from O'reilly Auto Parts for $25. Both have lifetime warranties but I just could not afford the SK so I went with the one I could afford. Not what I wanted, but I did what I had to do.
I totally agree about wally world, I avoid them like the plague. I was merely pointing out that other places are stuck selling Chinese garbage because that is all that is available to them. I wish I had the money to get American made all the time, but with my limited resources from SSI I don't have that luxury.
