Ken,
I think alot of people are hesitant to order from Toplace because they believe 'you get what you pay for.' This is true most of the time but not always. Richard Farrell has no 'proprietary secrets' on how to make a hair system although he tells that to everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if he uses a factory in China. It's always rewarding to see orders from people that normally wouldn't even consider a custom hair piece because they feel the price is beyond their means and they just couldn't afford it.
Regards,
John
