> If I want Chinese quality merchandise there's a Chinese store very nearby where I can go and look at the plastic at least.

You mean like the equivalent of sorting by lowest on eBay??

Like a Chinese guy I can walk up to and say, "I need a 120 foot HDMI and I will not be paying a cent over $22.43 for it because that's what's all the lowest cost sellers on eBay charge."

It's a kind of Chinese-owned, Chinese-managed physical store. It has a little bit of every kind of non-perishable product. From clothes to tools to toys to tupperware, directly imported from China. The quality is not high, but neither is the price, and they have an extensive offering. I think in the US is they have a similar kind of place called the "Dollar Store".
