[QUOTE="ron g, post: 671975, member: 13653"] i would buy low level, commodity type items (media player / hard drive / basic cabling) only from etrader sites. certainly nothing high end. for those i would want a dealer with support and advice. i'm not sure that that was the question though. i think that such sales would have a short term impact of increasing sales, but, because those items would be going into less than ideal environments, and being improperly matched / set up, performance would be bad, and the brand reputation would suffer. i also think that if a manufacturer targetted these channels, they would probably focus on the selling points - price, name/brand, gimmicks/features etc., and that quality would come last.
