But if the higher quality item rises and the lower quality item rises equally....then most people just write it up to general price increases across the board...and that's as far as It goes and life continues...
That would be assuming that higher quality parts are still available for a particular item, and those higher quality parts can be identified. Things like op sending units only have a few options, and there are probably only one or two manufacturers. They are competing to provide the lowest possible price, and that price keeps increasing. Until people get fed up with poor quality, and demand quality parts, we all are stuck with what we thought we wanted. Gene
