Poor quality parts ruining the hobby for me

We, the American buying public, have been conditined to buying cheap crap Imported parts, ever since manufacturing has been sourced out to China and Mexico. We now have few choices. We have finally learned that cheap means we generally get what we pay for,... crap, substandard junk, BUT it was cheaper.
Had we rather save our pennies and pay $500 for a quarter that fits or $150 for junk!? Wait, that $500 quarter is ill fitting junk also!!!!!! (just an example!)... SAD
