How much would you pay for a product made in the US vs China
Don't forget that there's a huge used and NORS market too. I think some people just like to buy new shiny things. They buy new shiny stuff made in China for that instant gratification instead of taking the time to find the same thing used/old stock that's made in USA.
I'd absolutely pay more for a new made in USA product. I also know I can usually find NORS cheaper than made in China. I think it's more important to keep money here than sending overseas.
