Good sales is a good way to make sure they make more. 😀

[milagros317]

Presumably they have learned from the high sales what people want to buy. 😀 😛

Same here my friend But Taiwan does not always sell what I want 😀 😛

Indeed, sometimes one has to buy something from France (like Burgundy wine) because they have the only product of that type available.

I know sadly most everything is made overseas these days. 🙁 I would prefer American quality even if I have to pay a bit more. 🙂

That's why I buy New Balance sneakers They are still made in America 😀 😛

Unfortunately most people dont' think that way, Kurch, and things offered for sale are likely made in China these days. 🙁

Yes you are right. Unfortunately too there have been lots of problems with stuff made in China. Most recently was some dry wall that off vents some noxious gases that smell like rotten eggs.

And products for children made with lead.

Yes I agree. Lots of products from there with a host of problems. Yet companies still get stuff made there cause the labor is so cheap.

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Indeed, that is their big comparative advantage, cheap labor.
