enourmous markups

If the company producing them is a mainline supplier to one of the asian car giants they might be really pretty good. Time will tell. Price does not always reflect quality.

I get an order a couple of times a month on average out of hong kong. A lot of product is relabelled and sold by american high line companies at enourmous markups. Yet a lot of items are junk or marginal you have to pick and choose.

Ain`t that the truth. bought a clutch slave cylinder for my Datsun PU.
bought the part from Kragan`s. they had two brands, Raybestos, and
Raymond I think it was. $17.00 for one and $29.00 for the Raybestos.
she said one was higher quality. so asked to see both. when I took them
out of the box they had the same exact part # on the plastic bag they
were wrapped in.
so I have the cheaper quality one.

Now back to our regualy scheduled broadcast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
