But sometimes certain items are commodities and should be treated as such...with the internet providing far more information than most "retail store experts", I see no reason for paying the extra 10-30% markup. Where is the value proposition...
Sooner rather than later, most products will be commoditized and sold on the Internet...Only those items that you MUST see in person or tried-on will be purchased at retail outlets...low price and the high availability of product/consumer informatation on the internet will drive this. Not to mention the fact that Sales Tax is usually skirted (for now) as well...
Those that have not embraced this new economy will eventually die-off or lose, the latter usually preceding the former.
Take care...I have to get back to surfing for 2% over cost DVD player now...
