Did you know that often times the merchandise sold at WalMart and other such stores is of lower quality?
Compaired to what? Colgate toothpaste is Colgate toothpaste whether you buy it at Walmart or at Safeway.
No, I didn't know that. Perhaps you'd share some examples as I did.
Do you want quality or low price?
Searches for both are the original ‘Fools Errand’ because quality costs more.
Harbor Freight sells low price tools. Snap on sells quality.
Sears Craftsman tools are in the middle in terms of price and quality.
Craftsmanship, did you say? ALlow me to use shotguns as an example. A Mossberg is cheap, but functional. A Benneli costs a bit more and has better detailed manufacturing. Actually hand crafted shotguns start north of the $10,000 mark and the best are another order of magnitude in price.
How much quality one gets is a matter of personal choice and ability.
Willing buyer, willing seller - the old free market bit.
