Not everything
on eBay is from Chinese sellers offering junk.
...and, in their defense (and I'm as annoyed about the whole China
issue as anyone else), not everything from the Chinese is junk. not everything made in the USA is automatically good!
I don't think that many things are (and it's true of many places, not just
the USA, of course); it's hard to find new items with well-made parts
designed with longevity and repairability (is that a word?) in mind;
competition is still very cut-throat even at the top end, requiring
manufacturers to cut corners wherever they can.
