Sounds like there is a market opportunity here. Someone needs to go out and identify well made products (from whatever region) and sell them at a premium. I just trashed my growing collection of modern telephones that don't work and finally bought a 20 year old rotary phone made by Northern Telecom. Aside from the fact that I like the retro look of the rotary dial and the wonderful sound of the BELL when it rings, I love the fact that it is built like the proverbial tank. You could pound nails with this beast. I plan to replace all of my cheap crap phones with 20 year old rotaries.

And as I get older and more affluent, I keep wondering where I can go to get high quality goods. I'm willing and able to pay a premium. But does anybody even market quality goods anymore? Where do rich people shop?
