I was just an out to say. They seem to price things a bit higher than they should. What sites would you recommend for buying figures at a fairer price then bbts.
things will be cheaper from country of origin, even if it is made in china japanese items will be cheaper from japan just like Hot Wheels cost $1 in US because they control the pricing.
the exporter needs a cut. the importing distributor another cut and finally BBTS and other local shops their final cut. These guys have physical shops and employees so operation cost needs to be taken into account, plus they have to compete with international sellers so their sales are limited, stock supplies are limited too.
just be glad right now we cant place order directly from china factories yes sure price will be great but at the cost of local businesses.
made in china is something like meth or coccaine, everybody gets hooked and eventually loses out.
low cost in china forces majority to shift production there or lose out to competitors, yet everyone knows the harm done when we over rely on them. Trump wanted to move production back to domestic but who wants to lead and end up losing their edge? you can give them tax exemption but still cost of made in usa is still few times more than china and factories can run 24/7 while folks go on strike every tuesday in developed nations.
we already seeing a huge dent in local economy when consumers started buying directly from china, the moment china is allowed to setup a super warehouse locally that would be end game for most local retailers unless you are selling niche items typically branded goods or super bulky items.
