CBI

So, YOU are the bidder! I emailed the seller saying that the listing was missleading and copied the link at the beginning of this thread to him/her. I suggested better clarification. The seller did reply saying they would check out my info. I am not interested in bidding but would be pissed if I had placed a bid thinking it was a BR however it doesn't really look like one anyway. Although this thread was going off topic, its good that many people have "issues" with Chinese made products. It IS a free market but I think consumers need to think a little more than always wanting a good deal. We always end up "paying" for it in other ways. Trade issues are currently very unbalanced. There are many factors of course. I also have a major bug about the fact that China is still a very communist based system, human rights issues, etc. and that we are so blinded by the cheap prices that no one seems to care. Saying this of course knowing that the US is far from perfect and getting worse! I try to monitor all of my purchases and keep things "here" if I can. If consumers could act "en mass" and set policy with thier pocket books, we might see some cool things happen in this otherwise greed based world. The current system is demonstrating what consumers seem to want .................. Admit to being off topic. These cheap A-2 might look OK with lots of "work" however if the leather has no character, chances are small.
