We will allow clients to provide CE products like TV's and source components but with the complete understanding that they are 100% responsible for them. Meaning that $95 an hour is billed anytime we touch them.
Yeah, with Fujitsu no longer selling Plasmas it must be hard to find a TV manufacturer who will provide a protected line to custom installers...
Heck, the Pioneer KRP line which was meant to be targeted to CI's was released to retailers earlier in the year, and I hear a lot of restrictions have been dropped from the Elite line as well.
Palnews26 made a solid point. The economic climate changes the whole game, but if as a CI your reputation and work stands on its own, then it shouldn't matter one bit to you.
Besides, wouldn't you rather be able to recommend the best equipment to your customers and not just the stuff that you can arrange to re sell?
