Vadim not only has lower employee overhead (he pays his family in room and board) but buys cheap, crappy products from his cousin Khadim back in India, products that are cheaper than what you find at Home Hardware or Rona because they are poor quality, but good enough for the uninformed buyer. Thirty years from now, "Vadim's" is a brand on par with Walmart, and you cna no longer buy a decent bandsaw unless you go to a specialty import shop that sells outrageiously expensive German machines.
In short: Taking our jerbs! Our jeeeeeeeerrrrrrrbbbbbs!

It's funny you chose a bandsaw as an example, coincidentally I just bought one on lunch break. It's a General International brand but the red one. Made in China
