[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1375027, member: 16962"] I don't expect anyone to agree with me nor respect my opinion. I do know that unlike most everybody on DRN (very few exceptions) and especially in this thread I have first hand manufacturing experience with Asian products. So riddle me this. Is it the fault of the manufacturer, the fault of the "dealer" or the fault of the buyer? Manufacturers WILL build a good product if they are directed to by somebody looking to buy this product at a fair price. I did just this, it took a lot of late nights and samples and fist pounding but it happened. (As did Yamaha re: TTR50) The manufacturer has to make a profit that's why they are in business. They will also build to a price point which is much more common and something most people gravitate towards. Anyone expecting to get a $4,000 dollar product for $700 and then reaping the markup as a dealer is an idiot and there are plenty of them out there. These same idiots find other idiots willing to pay them maybe twice what they paid because it's still a heck of a lot less than the original $4,000 item. As mentioned just because something looks like something doesn't mean a thing when it come to real quality but I think most people really know that even if they still instist on shopping at Walmart. I totally understand that a vast majority of the products being sold are indeed crap. Blaming any one part of the consumer food chain for all of the problem is where it all goes wrong. Everyone along that chain is responsible! Everyone that wants to spend as little as possible for a product they really know can't possible be as good as one that costs 8 times more is to blame. The company that sells this product is to blame and the company that manufactures it has some blame as well but they are just filling a demand. If the demand wasn't there the product would not exist. A lot of this spins off in to the trade & GDP issues we are currently having and as is most peoples nature it is much easier to blame somebody else, especially if that other party is far away. So you see on some points we're on the same wave length but I really don't see anybody as an unwilling victom of the situation. Maybe uneducated or unwilling to admit they know the reality. [/QUOTE]
