[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] No, in their perception the price was lower, that's all. It's the same phenomena today. Most people will buy a lower priced item and buy it again when it wears out rather purchase a well made article of greater lasting worth that costs more. Umbrellas immediately come to mind.

A lot of the times sources simply say they went bonkers over European trinkets for no reason. In their perception, they were lower priced, massed produced and more advanced. They didn't *know* they were cheap. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
