Chinese Part Suppliers



Has anyone else been approached by some chinese people that offer to rid you
of the hassle of manufacturing your own parts? The thought being that you
could focus your company on the assembly of your equipment and not be
burdened with making and storing all of the individual components and
sub-assemblies for that matter.

I went down the path with these fellows for quite awhile but I just had one
of those gut feelings (I chickened out) about the hole arrangement and
bailed out.

Since then I have found that one of our competitors went whole hog with
them. Now they find there parts for sale on the internet at a greatly
reduced price.

Just thought I'd pass this on so noone else gets stung.
