Why you think retailers can at times offer "up to 60% off"?

Nice move by China, helping out their retailers and undermining the tariffs at the same time.

What is clear is that luxury goods importers have a lot of room to absorb the tariffs.

IOW, products made in China are not cheaper for consumers but rather are bigger profits for companies!razz

The other day my last child asked me a simple question...Dad...how come that item only cost about a $1.00 in that country but the exact same thing costs almost $10.00 here?

Answer: Greed,Ignorance and Marketing.

Travel to Hong Kong for Garments, Shoes, Luggage, etc.

It's worth the travel cost.
