Is this illegal?

Before football season started some friends of mine found a Chinese website that sold NFL jerseys for $25. These were so good that a friend of mine who manufacturers garments and uses China as one of his suppliers thought they were real and the plant manager or worker was just making extra and selling them out the back door. This lasted a while and I got a $275 throw back for $25 shipped.

I would NOT buy to much, if realy NOTHING from china these days with all the real crap they produce, the dont conform to any production or safety standards of any kind , my fear is they would have such high amounts of porosity in the metal, that they break on the first hard squeeze or they would have have a high lead content like everything else they export.

i bought something the other day couldnt see where it was made untill i got it home took it out of the packaging it said made in china (no I didn't buy a harley ha ha ha) I was so pissed off , but it was so cheap i should have known or at least suspected that.

America invents it, japan perfects it, china mass produces it. Just the way it is.

Now this is true... Even when I first heard about the jerseys I thought they would fall apart after the first wash. Pleasantly surprised.. Now other parts??? Got to worry about those for sure.

the real sad thing is there is several things on our buells that are made in china under HD licensing rights and I am sure the level may be one of them .
there is pic of a buell show in what countries are most of the parts made, I looked for it but couldn't find it . maybe some one else can post it up for us.
