That has nothing to do with price. Quaity and responsibility was correlated to price, but that time has gone. I can buy shoes in local shop that won't last a season and perfectly well chinesecopied electronics, that are working over 6 years without issues. Yes, some products are more a lottery buying from China, some are even fraud (batteries, electricity saving devices, health products) , but same is now true locally. There is though a big difference in quality of consumer goods in W and E Europe. East Europe countries get a lot of Turkey or E Europe produced low quality similar or even "same" products.
