[quote user="Murphy Siding"]I'd be fairly certain, that lower cost providers have been around as long as money has been around. I'd even wager that throw-away products have been around for a few years as well. Made in Japan....made in Taiwan...made in Mexico...made in China...etc. We'll always have a low cost labor provider somewhere in the world for manufactured goods. <p> [/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Yes, but before all that finely "honed" marketing expertise went to work making lower bin products ubiquitous, it mattered less, because the slice of the pie was smaller.</p><p> Then there is the part where demand for quality merchandise drys up due to patron's succumbing to the "cheaper is better" philosophy...driving the quality products out of the market place, but since you said you didn't want to go there, I've purposefully been avoiding it.
