High end electronics are not made in the USA they are more
appropriately assembled in the US.
Putting together a flat screen TV? Flat Screens are all made in the
east. (Orient)
Remember Curtis Mathis? All they did was assemble electronics from
parts made by other manufacturers.
Most of the electronic components that are used in high end equipment
is all made overseas shipped here and then assembled.
The difference that may come in is that the components used may be
subject to additional testing and Quality Control before being used
in the end product.
What may pass QA for another manufacturer would be rejected by the
high end folks.
So there is your final difference.

The original question was about buying foreign products from foreign
web sites. When I buy US made products, if I can find them, I either
buy directly from the manufacturer or find them locally. There are
plenty of excellent products that aren't made in the US. It would be
better to find more excellent products that are made in the US. We
need more manufacturing here. Americans are very good conscientious workers.
US made products aren't much more expensive than those from
southeast Asia, but the profits are higher on imports. I'd rather
pay more for a quality product, but when it's something that's not
made in the US any more, I don't have much choice.
There are more slaves in the United States than 150 years ago. Many
are in manufacturing, but most are women in sex trade. It's not as
bad as before the Civil War, as a percentage of population, but some
recent estimates are at least 1 million. They sew our clothing in
L.A. and NYC, they're farm workers in Florida and California, they
worked on the cleanup after Hurricane Katrina, they're au pairs. You
may have seen or met them.
I don't think slaves make high end electronics in the US, but I
don't know for sure. Do you?
