Marketplace

Not so stylish, not so expensive, durable as one might expect, good enough for the intended use. We have entered the great bazaar. The point of sale for goods produced all over the world by a multitude of machines and shopworkers, loaded into shipping containers, transported by rail and/or truck, made into lots, warehoused, wholesaled, shipped to the buyer's distribution center, sorted, tagged, apportioned, shipped again, stocked, displayed and finally sold to you the consumer...for what seems (at times) a paltry sum. This is global commerce in action. Behold the selection. Dive right in.
