Somebody close this thread, its risible.

Do you think you could take a run up your own arse? You insult me, take a pop at my very reasonable offer of kit for your £200 wheels, no apology, nothing. Youre ignorance is stupefying. This thread is dead, Fred.
And any chance you ever had of selling/trading your secondhand, unwarrantied wheels.

But you do have issues ;)

I initially reacted to this berk who described my top end 90's retro as *shit. Clearly there are very few forum users with any real world knowledge of either vintage or the contemporary bike trade (which I worked in myself for 29 years as an importer/reseller). Builders import carbon rim stock because there is a good ROI and the demand is strong. Its the way the market is trending.
Hey ho, ignorance is ubiquitous, and anecdotes and Google are not the way to a sensible, reasoned argument.

The issue here is that you've got issues.

Dammit you dont even cite any anecdotal evidence! I've been dealing with the sameprominent wheelbuilder for 25 years. He's had so many Chinese shipping disasters that he will now only buy factory direct, in bulk and via his own (US based) insured carrier service. His recommendation to clients is that they never get whole wheels shipped. And thats not self interest, that's just plain sense coming from an expert with 45 years in the business. (I can provide contact details if youd like an education on carbon buying yourself)
The Chinese authorities normally discount shipping for exporters from anywhere between 90-100% of shipping costs via domestic EMS, so you can see how the prices are so very keen. However you can imagine the quality of carrier service that is effectively free. Do you think carbon wheels arent going to be thrown from plane to plane indiscriminately like everything else. Wise up man, if something seems to be cheap to be true - it usually is.
I'd be tempted to sling you in the Trolling/stark staring egit bin, but I'm willing to give someone a right to reply based on evidence.
