It's possible that HF and this vendor are buying identical items
from the same Chinese manufacturer and that the pictures come from
the manufacturer. HF buys in far larger quantities and can buy and
sell for a lower price.

BTW, until little more than a couple of centuries ago "trade" (i.e.,
buying at one price and selling at a higher price) was considered
immoral. (It's not illegal, of course, but "legal" is not the same
as "moral.") Making, building, repairing, producing were OK, but not
trading.


That's odd.

I thought "Buy low, sell high" was the mantra since time immemorial.



How does that work with prostitutes again? Oh yea, they have a pimp.


No. Their business mantra is: You've got it, you sell it, you've still got
it.
