| Mike wouldn't allow China stock, to be distributed on FF, so I am positive, its legit. Otherwise, he'd get shit for it. |

| And he's selling them at $30.00 plus the bullshit shipping price? Hmm. I can never spot a china deck. I always know that they got a funk shape but a lot of other decks do. |

| They're not China Decks.. Just because they're made in Hong Kong doesn't mean they should be labelled as a bulk product.
However, they do look like the Northwoods fingerboard shape. |

| Mike needs to start providing back-story on all these obscure decks he sells. not even a damn website or background on the company's origins?

| Perhaps they are decks made legitimately by some legit guy, he might have just bought a China shaped mold from someone in China? |

| Did you know that Hong Kong isn't in "China" and is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. So if you are going to rant, say "HONG KONG" instead! If the deck looks cool, who gives a flying where it's made! |

That's why. That's surely a valid opinion/point and respectable. Unfortunately we would be without a lot of things today if we shut out all mass produced products with cheap labor from China. Game consoles, computers, tv's, shoes, many cars,..you get the idea. Who knows, maybe it's still a decent board. Nobody can knock it until they try it! |

| It's good for china to make the listed items above but fingerboarding is something personal. Mass produced fingerboard products, selling at cheap prices, not even caring where fingerboarding is or where it will go is just heartless. |

I bought a pack of candy canes, in the USA, that says it was "Made in China". Now is that package of candy canes hurting the candy cane scene? Someone out there probably thinks so, just like you do regarding a fingerboard. I'm sure it's a great candy cane too, which I am just going to enjoy, rather than worry about the candy cane scene. I know, I'm a bad person I guess! lol |

No, because candy doesn't have a fucking scene. Candy is Candy, fingerboards are fingerboards.

No, because candy doesn't have a fucking scene. Candy is Candy, fingerboards are fingerboards. Everything has a scene. Definition of Scene: A place, with the people, objects, and events in it, regarded as having a particular character or making a particular impression. I'm certain someone out there is hurt in the candy cane world by my purchase and the flooded market of China candy canes! |
