Yes, but tomorrow and another 100 pages to scroll through is the gift that keeps on giving!!!

Too bad it's already 8:30 pm or I'd motor on down there to look for that white Tacoma parked out front. Riverside is 10 minutes away from where I'm at...

This seems to be an accurate description of the young lady.

 

If a 1/2 price knock-off of her shows up on eBay I'll bid.

 

Are stringer welds inferior to hand welds?

Finally caught up at 11:21. I better get a merit badge for reading all of this.

 

So a lot of references have been made to China or overseas production. I have some experience in this field so I will share my experiences. When I worked for a clothing company we would often buy competitors product at retail, give it to our overseas contact, request a few changes and samples. Once samples came back approved we went into production. Often the samples would be on point and production was shit.

It is incredibly simple to make cheaper knockoffs overseas.

And some notes on how pricing works. Those black tees allpro is selling on their site, they buy from China for about $1.20 a tee shipped cost. Screen print is about another $1.00 to 1.50. Cost of production is about $3.00 when you include packaging and other misc costs. We would then sell them to a local mom and pop for $10 - $12. They double their cost and charge The consumer $22-$24. If it's a popular brand with a premium market, for example guys that can afford a $1,000 bumper, cost goes up a little bit.

Gotta love America, where we can use the poor in another country to screw each other over. Ain't Consumerism grand.
