Thanks for the information.

 

All of these cheap Chinese lifts probably cut into their profits.

 

Given today's work ethic, and just the cost of labor, I would imagine that many of these types of industries that prided themselves on a good product at a fair price will continually fall away.

It's getting harder and harder to find people that don't have an "it's all about me" attitude to work at labor intensive, prideful work. On top of that, the cost of labor, insurance, material to the owners has to be suffocating.

I have a very good friend that owns a very professional and profitable machine shop. He wants to retire and is willing to teach a young person in their 20's how to run the shop and the business, and within the next five years take it over. Over the past year, I've told no less than five young folks that I thought had a good work ethic, aging from 18-26 about this opportunity to own their own PROFITABLE business. Two didn't show up, and the other three talked to him but showed no interest. It's getting harder and harder for businesses to find, attract and teach young folks about responsibility and ownership and pride in doing a job well done. Everyone wants wealth NOW, and just can't visualize having to work hard to get what you want. IMO, that's why many businesses are giving up the ghost.

Sorry for the minor rant/hijack......

Aaawwww man! I've been drooling for one of those for 8 or 9 years!!! They're not far from my home (about a 45 minute ride) and they used to have a couple of mechanics in their shop too that would work on sleds. This really bums me out.

Unfortunately, living on a fixed income I just never could afford to get one. I naturally got to see them used all the time when I went to the shop to get something on my bike worked on (usually having a tire replaced). Those lifts are phenomenal! I could climb up on it with my bike on it and do damn near anything I wanted and that bike would never rock enough to make me nervous!

<sigh>...now I really won't be able to get one ever. Makes me wish I'd forgone some item I got with the insurance money from the settlement I got when the cager t-boned me, but naturally *everything* I got I needed badly, so I'd have lost out one way or the other.

Also, as DeeRoe said, all the chinee crap is destroying this nation. I make sure my OL knows, that if she buys *anything* that's chinee and brings it into this home, I'll toss it out on the street (unless she *must* have it and we can't find a Made in America version). That also goes for our food. We have much less food in our pantry, but all the food is *Made in America* (unfortunately probably picked by 98% illegal messicans!). That's another thing I told the OL about...if she comes home with anything but a name brand food, something like that 'great value' ****, it gets thrown in the garbage or out on the street!

I may not be making much of a difference, with what little we can afford to get, but I damn well *REFUSE* to help a foreign nation screw us into the ground!!!

 

I’m a Dino still working on the garage floor - too cheap to get a lift (tho will probably cost more to get new knees later…).

 

I scored a Pitbull Lift from CL about 2 weeks ago, $135 used one time, looks brand new.
I was shocked, thought it was a scam.
