Fords and Chevys, made in China, sold in Walmart, how far away?
A few years ago we decided to buy a pool table.
Checked our local dealers, priced them, and then decided to check out prices on the internet.
We found an internet dealer that beat all other prices (had been featured in billiards magazines and had scores of buy recommendations on his site), so we ordered the table. When it arrived, it was beautiful. The guy that set it up said it was of comparable quality to the ones sold for triple the price in our local market, and that the slate was of good quality too.
Couldn't figure out how the internet site could sell so cheaply, till we noticed on the crate that the pool table was shipped in "Made in China."
