Mot retail locations have turned into flea markets: Disorganized, stale inventories, and lacking of quantities.
Why pay companies for Chinese made products?
They cut Americans out of making the products, buy direct online from China and cut out the companies. Most companies Chinese products for $1 and sell to Americans for $50.

I do this on ebay a few times a year. Swimmers silicone earplugs direct from China cost 10% of what the Amazon ones cost...but you have to know which ones to get:)
You can scout out a product on Amazon and read the reviews. Then often you can buy cheaper on ebay either direct from China or it might be Chinese made but sitting in a US warehouse. Black toner for laser printers? Amazon is a rip-off, go to ebay.
