31. There must be millions of kalimbas in-stock in the USA.

Most of the Chinese-made ones I'm seeing on eBay are still cheap and with free shipping from within the USA. The LingTing model I bought my granddaughter in '22 is still close to the same price on Amazon. However, that will change with time as stocks are depleted.

Millions of Americans started in-home eBay and Amazon stores in the last decade or so, by sourcing cheap Chinese goods. They're going to be hurting with many closing shop in coming months. In my case, I occasionally was buying electronic hobby parts and stuff for home audio and recording systems.

I think the sectors we need to worry most about would be automotive, computing and our food supply chain.

Best of luck with your hobbies and may the orange monkey's tariffs have minimal impact on you!
