>>> "I blame this sense of entitlement where you think everything that's worth owning should be cheap." <<<
So, as an alternative to buying obviously outsourced products sold at a cheap price that provide a good value for cost ratio you'd say that it's okay for a "manufacturer" to purchase the same outsourced product in quantity that is being sold for a reasonable price, drop it into their own fancy case, slap on their highfalutin name and sell it for a premium price?
Sorry dude, but as usual, your logic eludes me! ;^>
>>> "Now yes, it's come to this. Companies from Runco to Lexicon have to rebadge Chinese-made products or go out of business. But it's beyond luxury items; it's the mindset that we must find a cheap deal for something to be worth buying instead of rewarding a manufacturer for workmanship and knowing their trade." <<<
This isn't supposed to be a political site, but I think it's fair to say, regardless of where one stands on hot-button issues, that we've been wrecked by many years of unfair trade practices complicated by deficit spending (borrowing, to pay for wars which should not be prosecuted without tax increases, etc.) that has resulted in a depressed economy which only supports cheaper manufactured goods for most Americans. A/V is no different than other aspects of the national economy when it comes to making choices, but those who CAN afford better gear don't like being suckered and made to look foolish for buying repackaged, relabeled products.
That, "my friend," is the bottom line.
