What do 'serious' orchid growers think of cheap mass market phal?

Just curious, I have bought a number of really pretty Phalaenopsis from mass market outlets in the past roughly 4 years, about a dozen total. The most I paid was $14.99, the least $5, many were from Kroger for $9.99, which they seem to have frequently as an advertised special.

I just wonder what the people who are really into orchids, showing and growing, think of these plants, both in terms of quality and in terms of what the availability of these plants at low prices to the general public means to more professional orchid growers?

Kroger has them this week in my area (Detroit) for $9.99
