I realize that brand name goods sold through certain discount channels may be lower quality than the ones sold through regular retail channels. I've bought blue jeans at a discount place, and later realized the fabric was thinner than when bought at a regular retailer. But at least it had a different model number. If I went to (making this up) Costco and looked for what I'm used to buying, Goodyear Wrangler ATS, would I find it? Or would I find a model like "Goodyear Yaquero Yucky Road" that's inferior quality instead? |
