No they're not, but I'm pretty sure the 'gravy' days are numbered for such products at such prices. Its better to make an X amount of $$ selling to 1000 customers, than to make the same amount selling to 200. Lower prices will widen the customer base even more. Discrediting Far East products without solid proof can only work for so long. Remember what many of you learned in American History class: "you can fool some of the people all the time and all people some of the time, but you can't fool all people all the time" (I'm not sure they were referring to rods though
