That is probably true.

 

back in the 90's when you had to get on a waiting list to buy a harley. alot of the then was being sold in other countries due to the price. and why we was on a waiting list.cant blame them if i could sell stuff and get that kind of price for it i would too.i'm glad somebody got that kind of money to spend.

 

I just reurned from China. I visited the new HD shop in QingDao.
They say they have sold 70 bikes since they opened Oct 3.

The shirts are way high and it's cash or a China credit card only.

 

Everything at walmart from china is cheep.

 

Kinda ironic isn't it JW We're buyin' all that cheep chit made in China at Walmart's here and they're makin' enough over there to buy our expensive American stuff That makes sense

 

That's the motto I use everytime I go to Vegas. Unfortunately, it hasn't paid off yet.

When I was in Thailand in the Army, guys would try and trade you about anything they had for authentic Levi's bluejeans. I ended up trading away 2 old pair and getting about carved statues/carved horns that are worth about $400 back home. From what we were told, owning something American made over there is a big status symbol.

 

Ya, now they just make it themselves and put the Levi's label (or whatever else they want) on it stamped Made in the USA

 

Ain't that the truth Mike!

 

A friend from South America recently moved here to distribute a premium product line. They had recently moved a lot of production to China to maintain their quality/cost levels. His last shipment from China went up 40% in price. Now, they are closing and dropping the U.S. market. Free markets are a wonderful thing. But, I will miss my buddy. People love a free market when it goes their way. They hate it when it goes the other way. But, the market doesn't care.
