btw, it is these profit margins that drive the sale of the chinese junk parts. if you sell URO, you can make 2, 3 , 4 or more times what you paid for something and still offer people "the same part" for less money. nearly every front end catalog is geared towards selling this garbage as that is where all the money is
if you sell OEM parts as i do, selling for 1 1/2 times what you paid for it is a home run. OE parts pay even less. the game is rigged both on the seller and buyer end to push chinese garbage and that is what we are seeing more and more of every day.
