I am not attempting to enlighted anyone, but this morning, I was in a
store
shopping. (This is very rare for me).

I spotted a shrink-wrapped, shadowbox frame, 11x14, of exceptionally high
quality.
I use these types of items in my business, so I looked VERY closely at it.
It
was made in Thailand. Now here's the thing . . . it was selling for $
5.99.
The 8x10 was only $3.99.

So I ask myself, how can something this nice be made, packaged (these are
GLASS
and very fragile pieces), transported from the other side of the planet,
loaded
onto trucks, delivered, unpacked and placed for sale at $6? How can there
be
enough profit for all the parties involved in the process?

I'm guessing that the cost to make them in Thailand must be real low, huh?

The cost is low and the quality is high. Americans lose on both aspects.

I bought a dozen of each.

That's how they sell cheap...the produce in large volumes and have very low
rates of re-wrok and rejections.
