Greencat - agree up to a point, mostly don't.
How much is an item has all the bearing on the quality. In everything. How it's made, what materials are used, quality of workmanship, that sort of thing.
Did you think and /or expect that any company would use top quality materials just to go and sell it for few dollars?
Tha's not how it works.
And this adjective: rubbish - what does it mean - and who decides what is and what isn't.
Appart for convetional term that we all know - as in household garbage.
Cheap stuff is a different market from those who buy quality goods.
Not that it's anything particularly wrong with cheap **bleep**py items - they have usually short lived life, get disposed of and new stuff bought.
On a perpetual merry go - round.
You must have heard of the saying:
Poor people (those who buy cheap things) always end up paying the most.
You get a cheap Chines bike from K Mart, leave in the rain - it rusts straight away, rust seeps into the wheels, eats your tires, they are continually flat and need replacing.
Then you go and spend a thousand dollars on the bike where everything is stainless steel and chrome - and it doesn't happen!
No use saying the first one was rubbish, I mean, you can say it all you like, but it wouldn't be fair on the maker of that bike.
