Or those who don't know enough that what they bought doesn't work right. 
I've seen many product reviews saying that MFJ build quality of antennas 
designed by companies they acquired was significantly inferior to the 
original designs, and there was enough detail in the reviews to make it 
clear that the reviewer know what he was talking about.  Reports of cold 
(or missing) solder joints are common.
As someone who has made a living in technical sales, I see another 
negative to their operation -- they pollute the market for products of 
moderate cost but better quality. That makes it that much more difficult 
for a company to enter the market with a competing product, when what 
APPEARS to be an equivalent is heavily advertised at a much lower cost.
