Even the quality suppliers often can not resist real cheap **** when
it is offered to them. If they can buy it for $10 less a sheet and
cut the price $5 a sheet they still come out ahead.


I've noticed this only the past two or three years with some long time
suppliers, only they don't cut the price.

I think it's a desperate attempt to stay in business after years of using an
old business model that's worked since the "Industrial Age", but no is no
longer guaranteed to do so in the "Me/TV Age": "Give the customer quality
and service".
