Re: A 'dealer loyalty' question for the *customers*.

Let me be perfectly clear. It doesn't matter how much a dealer works to show a product,convince a product,and sale him or herself. If the customer can buy it on the web or from someone else for as little as 1% or 2% difference then they're gone. There is no such thing as loyality these days. The bottom dollar rules and that's all there is to it! The internet saw to that mostly and it's a good thing in most ways. It just changes the way we do business from now on. Remember going to a tv dealer (most of the time at his home)and buying a tv. Then the dealer would come deliver and install the antenna. If you had a picture get bad then he would come out check out the tv and replace the tube. This was accepted and customers were grateful and didn't mind spending there money for that service. That all changed when the transistor was born. Next thing you know tvs are sold at the dime store for 2/3 what the old dealer was selling them for. My dad told me years ago this about business " if your selling water in the desert and all of a sudden it starts to rain you better figure out where to buy umbrellas to sale"! It's nobodies fault, it's just the way it is.
