    I needed a couple of very simple tools to install new tuners. Simple
    little tools but hard to find. Couldn't find one shop in the EU
    LoserVille selling these. A couple of luthier pages in the US do sell
    though. At exorbitant prices. And for something that is made in China
    anyways and really should cost about 20 cents.

    If I Google for these things, Chinese retailers don't show up. Thinking
    about it with an open mind and with some benefit of hindsight, it
    doesn't seem like a huge surpriseski.

    But then it came to poor Pelle. Eff Google! Go to AliExpress! China's
    answer to Amazon. And lo and behold. There it was! All that I needed and
    more. And, just as I though, they are the exact same gadgets US shops
    gouge my eyeballs off for. Now, I'm getting them for a fraction of a
    price. Not only that. Those guys work their asses off. It's weekend, I
    ordered the stuffs in the evening and the packages are already in
    transit in less than 24h!

    Thank You, AliExpress. Thank You, China.

    Are you hinting that American Google is not the unbiased holy saint of information highway?

    And I thought you were a dichotomous thinker.

    Indeed. I received my super low-tech gadgets anybody could manufacture
    but only China does. StewMac sells equivalents for around $100+shipping. Possibly add the 25% VAT (<- communism!) and duties to that as well. I
    got mine for re425. Shipping included. No VATs or duties either!

    Blessed is free trade, globalism and Schengen. Blessed are the EU
    climate policies.
