It's the mom-n-pop store that can't compete with online unless they are really wired into ebay. Then they can sell their hand-made soap or whatever all over the world. It is true that retailing is becoming a different animal though.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091933429533102339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-80430274537030062972011-01-11T14:36:56.341+11:002011-01-11T14:36:56.341+11:00I saw a "made in Vietnam" shirt today.

Soon you will see the extent of the issue...<br />Who do we have to blame, but ourselves. We buy cheap. Cheap comes from China. Local producers go to the wall. Price of "Cheap" stuff goes up. It's a simple Capitalistic equation.Gargoylinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763435804070658190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-69267048766310685472011-01-09T12:59:45.985+11:002011-01-09T12:59:45.985+11:00It's been very hard to take them seriously...It's been very hard to take them seriously...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-35565080678840066952011-01-09T12:57:41.124+11:002011-01-09T12:57:41.124+11:00Some souvenirs stuffs I bought from Sydney airport...Some souvenirs stuffs I bought from Sydney airport became laughing stuffs from my kids as they found the "made in china" label on them!HLizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501423875033391870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-77040782059133068932011-01-09T05:29:00.654+11:002011-01-09T05:29:00.654+11:00Arrgghhhh!!!Arrgghhhh!!!rdlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062856086277201874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-13200435115245829892011-01-09T00:29:32.769+11:002011-01-09T00:29:32.769+11:00Business Spectator had some interesting stats on t...Business Spectator had some interesting stats on this eg only 1 billion a year is spent online vs 250 billion per year overall.Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091613050260494544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-31246668080851447122011-01-09T00:24:38.059+11:002011-01-09T00:24:38.059+11:00Sounds very familiar, what with the "Buy Amer...Sounds very familiar, what with the "Buy American" noise I get here at home.
