I keep thinking of that book I read by a Madison Avenue advertising executive who let it all out about 30 years ago and wrote the book "I can sell you anything." Why didn't I act on it and see you guys coming? Repackaged wire from a major manufacturer like Belden or Alpha dressed up to look odd and thick with my name on it and a 1000% markup. $300 worth of parts to build a 40 year old design vaccum tube amplifier in china and retail it here for about $5000. $300 worth of speaker parts in a $200 cabinet retailing for around $6000. Even an off the shelf cd duplicator unaltered except for my logo on it and a 200% markup. I must have been nuts not to see how easy it is to steal money from babies legally. And to think I was so dumb I thought you had to work for a living. Should have paid closer attention to the adage, build ANY mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. Anyone interested in a plastic wall receptacle cover plate? Instead of the $25 machina is charging, I've got them marked down to $15...how can you refuse a bargain like that?
