Can anybody explain this to me please

Quote from nutmeg:

"1 ... a chinese sourced spade at Home Depot is $12.99 and a US assembled (local & imported parts) is $25.97."

$13.00 for liability insurance, trial lawyers.

Good try nutmeg, but they are being outsourced for $2.25 to china and they in turn are flicking them on to mongolia for 90 cents.

Can you ever envisage a time when the mongolians flick them on to the US for 40 cents.

Problem might be that all the litigation boys will be smuggled over the border line to join the doctors and dentists in sunny mexico.

The mind boggles.

Prolly it's not politically correct to refer to a shovel as a "Spade". Throw in an extra $5.00 for sensitivity training.

Post O` the day.....LOL

unfortunately Americans will buy the junk over the high quality product. I owned a retail store. I could never get people to act on the 'you get what you pay for' truism.

??........in (1) above, the Chinese-made spade is a piece of junk. Don't buy it at any price. It will snap in half after 10 minutes of use. Also, don't get too bogged down in fundamentals. They'll only leave you flustered.
