I have a friend that buys a product from China and resells them. His scenario is exactly the same as Bob's. This product has X as a market retail rate. Buying it from Nebraska instead of China will not allow him to sell the product for more.

But if Bob really wants to save money, he will use the cheapest possible option, right? Either way, all of this cost cutting comes at a price. What do you do when the audience you are trying to market to is largely unemployed because all manufactoring jobs have moved overseas?
