    There are patent laws to protect property im sure. However, I'm not a lawyer and after a few minutes of google searching if someone can discredit this I'll revoke this argument as invalid.

    As for the cheaper price, this manafacturer is probably not infringing on All Pro's business. The people willing to pay a premium for their hand crafted, original product will do so. These eBay sellers are doing exactly what trail gear did to Marlin, and now trail gear has competition in the cheaper segment. People who hold lower budgets will buy these. Sure, there are exceptions to EVERYTHING, but the majority I believe to hold true.If you are all in favor of capitalism you support a free market where unprotected ideas are subjected to the ultimate form of flattery for a more competitive pricing. You'd also support the choice of people to buy a product that more accurately fits their budget to allow them to recirculate more money. This is how competition strives. If All Pro doesn't see this product to hinder their business they will continue operation as is. If they do see it as a threat, poor consumer, has to get an A+ product (which I believe all pro to be) at a cheaper price. Damn.

    As I said before, blatenly copying a product is morally wrong, and not a seller I would buy from personally. But atrempting to send people on a guilt trip who obviously don't give a shit makes you no better than them.

    Cheap ebay bumper, plus others
    I have no regrets for a bumper that cost me less than $500.

    I'd be interested in seeing all the personal possessions of the people claiming it is morally wrong to buy chinese manufactured knock offs.

    I see they are no longer being advertised for the 12+, guessing the refunds were not very profitable.

    After my refund and the cost of shipping I'm guessing I didn't contribute to their theft profiteering.

    I feared I was going to lose sleep tonight after learning I have no conscience, what a close call.

    Buying American = More money needs to be spent = Need to raise minimum wage

    Buying Chinese = Less money needs to be spent = No need to raise minimum wage

    Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not sure that's how it works.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Any scenario = abolish minimum wage and allow the free market to dictate what wages are paid and prices are paid on items.
