Still a better buy than China... Who cares what he paid for them... I really don't see where it is relevant... I would think what was more important was what I had to pay for them.
It's a new 'company' based in the US, They are very responsive to email and they are local.. at least to me (550 miles away... But in the Great State of California.. and a whole lot cheaper than the competition. I did a little research before I bought from them.
