    More like " partially assembled in a half assed fashion" in the USA.

    The cable is made in the USA. The banana plug is made in China.

    Doesn't matter. Most of what says is "made in the USA" is usually only assembled here.

    America is quickly becoming a third world country.

    I guess it was just the concept of the auction that was funny to me. He went out of his way to label it Made in USA both in the title and in the description yet puts a picture which only has the value of showing the plug was Made In China.
