I think a real 'effort' is now being made to sell the damn things in the U.S. At least that is the opinion I have gotten from reading Kath_aleen's posts on RB as of late; and as long as they cost less than every other brand, they should do well. Is the one you got on Ebay still working alright?
MG, "I do not remember what the price was because I did not write it down". You are full of it and you know it. The price is no where near HOP-ON's price of $39. Stop lying.
