SRC Member nutx Posted November 13, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2003 that saying is true... so is: "you get what you pay for!" In today manufacturing market, many products are produced in China, even those very reputable brand from States and Europe. Hence, the key is to find the right Original Equipment manufacturer(OEM) in china to buy the product, or the local brand from the same OEM.
