I was thinking about this today whilst perusing around looking at different equipment. I got to thinking about Bubble Magus skimmers on eBay specifically.
I am "pro-US economy" but it looks to me like the US manufacturers need to get up to speed or get out of the game in the specific instance.
These skimmers they are offering are on-par with skimmers produced in the US with a price tag upwards of three-times that of the Bubble Magus.
Now, I do understand that the pumps are "probably" very, very sub-par, but the skimmer body is not. But lets assume a good pump costs twice as much, these skimmers would still be less than half the price of comprable American made skimmers.
My question is, at what point is the price difference too much to ignore?
