My local is importing wholesale branded chinese glass. I allways thought he's sketchy,
now I know!
Just throwing it out there, there's nothing sketchy about importing Chinese glass and selling it for a markup.
If there's some dishonesty about the glass itself - eg direct claims its us made, then that's certainly sketchy, but a business having a general markup on their wholesale price is just... How business works...
(To be clear, I'm not trying to say your particular lhs isn't sketchy, or that you,
@hafalump bear any ill will towards retailers, it's just a bit of a general attitude I feel like I've seen floating about for a little while...)

Re-read your comment and saw that your local is selling branded China stuff.
Sketchy indeed
<- but make the face
IMO we should be considering ourselves lucky we can get such great wholesale-level prices for single item purchases.
And while we can get those prices I'm riding that train hard
I think I've picked up something like 20 new rigs over the last year or so thanks to dhgate
