A massive tariff on millions of Americans' purchases just went into effect -- cue the chaos

32. There are lots of cheap kalimbas on eBay, but most of them really sound awful.

Ling Ting kalimbas are great. The Seeds kalimbas are very high quality too, they are chromatic and the 41key version can play almost anything. It’s sounds like a quality instrument, the keys are the best I seen. I have two cheap ones I don’t like to play, a 21 key Zsdm that is okay, good keys, but the wood is not as good as it should be, a hand made pentatonic made here in America, it’s great, but not for regular music, the two Seeds are the best, I’ve found, if I had the money for it, I might get a poopoopidoo but they are much more and made in France. So I may have to pay duties and tariffs. One of mine came from Amazon the other from an open box on eBay. They were very reasonable, but I closed my Amazon account, so that is no longer an option.

I know many eBay sellers also sell on Amazon as well, using prime for delivery. They are going to be in big trouble, trump always goes after the smaller businesses. Same with farmers. The smaller farmers are in trouble but the big corporate farms will get billions from him.

For computers and cars, I think salvaging parts is going to become awfully popular. On computers, I usually buy two of everything, using one until it dies, then using the second until it needs parts, from the first if possible.
