So jim, how long have you been selling mics?

vbg Not me! I haven't even decided for sure if I'm going to buy any.
But it is an interesting and increasingly common phenomenon - the use
of group buying power to reduce prices and eliminate middlemen.

Trouble is, in the case of many Chinese microphones, the middlemen are the
ONLY ones performing ANY kind of quality control. So you'd probably be well
advised to buy at least ten units of EACH mic you want to keep ONE of. If
you do that, do you still save any money?
