Kinda long story but, I was talking to a vendor of another product a couple of weeks ago. He told me the same thing happened to them. They went to China to get their product manufactured because it was 2/3 cheaper than the local guy they had been using. After about a year their product started showing up at places like reds gear and Alibaba. What they had done was copy his product and even put his name on it and started selling it on the internet. Then folks were trying to get him to warranty them when they broke. They have a international patent on theirs and have been in court for a year or so but are about to get it stopped. I'm betting this is the same thing that is happening with E-Z's / Millennium products. I know we all want to save a Buck but is it really worth it when you look at sending those dollars to a Chinese corp verses a home grown small business. Even though those products are built in China. They still get covered with warranty and great quality control. Then when you buy this stuff and it's not up to par you want to blame Millennium and next thing you know their Reputation is shot and their out of business and your stuck with the cheap Chinese stuff as your only option. Then we set back and bemoan the fact we have lost jobs overseas and our small business's are going broke trying to compete. I just suggest be wise on your purchases, remember if it seems to good to be true it's probably is.
