As someone who has made a living in technical sales, I see another
negative to their operation -- they pollute the market for products
of moderate cost but better quality. That makes it that much more
difficult for a company to enter the market with a competing product,
when what APPEARS to be an equivalent is heavily advertised at a much
lower cost.
Unfortunately, MFJ is not the only amateur manufacturer/vendor guilty
of that. Too many "companies" are noting more than a single person
making one or two products in a garage/basement and under valuing the
cost of space, individual's time, etc. There are even "companies"
for which amateur products are simply a sideline where the "other"
businesses bear all of the fixed cost/overhead which results in an
artificially low price for the amateur products.
