Manufactoring in general is going to hell. Using plastic parts on things that used to be metal, which don't last as long. They are always looking to make their products cheaper and keep selling them for more.

Do you understand how little sense you make? I have a product... a widget. I have all my technical specs, manufacturers specs and requirements. I find someone to build that for me. Then I get samples made, evaluate, then make incrementally larger orders while carefully monitoring quality. Quality is NEVER the problem. Someone, somewhere will do it better and cheaper than Gary in Nebraska.
Say I need an illustration. I go to a filippino artist who does it for 50.00 and its awesome. Gary in Nebraska wants 500.00 for the same job. Where does "quality" fit into the equation? Quality is a given. The buyer is paying for items built to spec. Thats it.
