Take a look at these 20 plastic rivets I just ordered. How else do you think someone from china can sell something on ebay for $8, ship it here and still make money?
The equivalent distributor in the U.S. is selling the same thing made in the same place, for $14 in the U.S. not including the $4 tax and shipping…
Oh yeah, and Mercedes Benz of San Diego wanted $2.50 for EACH rivet. Now before any of you patriotic folks jump on the bandwagon and say, buy american and/or german and don’t support that China economic war machine… I would….Except the same damn plastic rivets from Mercedes Benz of SD was also Made in China… Lose/Lose in my book.
