Give me a minute Scruffy, I gotta piss...
The fruit slicers idea I was designing and talking about was something that would be used on a "industrial grade" level.. you know like one that restaurants use. They pay out the arse for those things.. $100 bucks for an industrial grade tomato slicer is pretty cheap... but I could buy it (or at least it's parts) from China for about $2... and then I can sell it for $100 to restaurants in the US or even worldwide... Why can't I (or don't I) buy it, or at least it's parts from a U.S. company?

And I'm confused. This makes all fruit slicers expensive how? Are there no cheaper fruit slicers? Are they all $100? Should they all be $2?

And on top of that, government regulations are the reason the price difference is so large.
That is how the game works. The goal is to make a profit. Period.
You want to serve some noble ideal of supporting people here, more power to you, but realize it has a price. It always has. Noble ideals always come with a price.
