I am not a greddy fan, but this is the reason I don't support chinese knockoffs, they are not only running big companies down the drain, they are also destroying the whole desire to hook up a car, unsafe cheap garbage. someone needs to put a lock on importing these junk parts.
OBX is an ok chinese company but they are also driving the industry down also. I have no problem with paying less for something, but at least make it good quality stuff.

this is just part of a global economy. They cant produce a product that is deemed a "good value" compared to the chinese nock offs. I personaly would rather buy a 30$ BOV then a 200$ one.. Even if i have to replace it in 3 years, its a better value for me.

And dont get the term vlaue confused with quality.

People always bash chinese ---- but when people don't have alot of money to begin with what are they left with? Just saying well if you can't pay for the toys then you can't play. It's just the truth. It goes for pretty much everything nowadays. I don't think they'll go under personally and Trust will just dissapear. An investor will come in and get them. But then like someone said in that blog, if they and other companies happen to go under, then who will chinese companies copy?

My quality control teacher made a good comparison:

"If you buy a hammer at the dollar store, and the handle breaks after using it for a few weeks, You still got a pretty good value right? I mean you paid a dollar for a hammer, If you had high expectations you're an idiot".
