From Grainger,,, advertise MSRP = $1.35 Mentioned that might need as many as 60,000.... answer "no problem,,,4 days".... Have now reduced ask to $7.5 and complaining that govt seems to be cracking down on the enterprising traders. Background story from old friend who is married to chinese, started injection molding plastics business 20 years ago,,, has expanded 50X from starting point.... living near Suzhou: Him: "Do you know what the biggest problem we have running a manufacturing business in China?" Me: "Copies?" Him: " Copies are easy to deal with, if you can make good quality, it's not really copies you have to worry about." Me: "Then what?" Him: "Your entire production team coming in while you aren't there and running off an entire production run without your knoweldge". Me: "Are you kidding me?" Him: "Want me to hold your beer?"
