In terms of flow of goods it's starting to get cheaper to make things domestically, sure some things from China are cents on the dollar but for a surprising amount if applications off the shelf components aren't going to cut it and working with China, setting up the lines and then getting a product to market takes longer and gets a worse product in the end.
Before it was worth it but if there is a large downturn lean manufacturing is going to be a lot more maneuverable
first time ordering from taobao, hope nothing fucks up
Yes but another factor is that the wage gap between China and the West is not *that* huge anymore like it was some decdes ago
@momoko do you want me to read/translate your invoice/order confirmation just to be sure?
I don't have the invoice yet

how safe do you think it is to buy eagle feathers from the chinks? Or will customs rape me endlessly
ehh I think it should be fin
fine*
Just say it's fake feathers
I am not sure if they will believe me 😄
How much would they cost? If you put a low value on the feathers they won't think it's poaching
They should be fine but they're quite fragile
yeah
but considering one feather costs like 15€ if you get one, this might still be worth a shot
do you think that's real jade?
If I recall there are multiple grades of jade and it's used to describe different minerals even so probably.
I'm buying those jade chopsticks

I wanted to buy ivory chopsticks in Japan
then the seller asked me where I live

>thin rocks break when dropped
I mean, I guess.

@Frostjunkie do you really think chinks are harvesting those feathers responsibly?

@johnfrum of course not, hence the price
