Suck It

I also like this thread and have to come down on the side of the free-marketers.
ANY B&M that prices stock high, I do not think of them as gougers or scammers or rip- off artists. However, I also do not go to their shops again. So in the end, one thing they ARE is losers. I spend, or used to spend a ton of money on cigars in B&Ms and while I hold no personal animosity towards them, I do chuckle at how they let 5 grand a year walk out the door. Now many will just think, 'oh that guy is a hobo with no money, who cares if he left without buying'. No. I am not going to tell you how to price your stuff, because I know that in any business it's tough out there, and in the stogie business, it's often really scary. But I think that a lot of customers are like me, I'll let a B&M owner hang himself without so much as a price comment. Because I DON'T KNOW anything about his business. But I have definite opinions. I am a foot voter. What's funnier is that also have no idea about how much info they share with one another, is one shop KILLING IT and keeping that info to himself, or is he sharing his basic profits with other owners and leaving them scratching their head over how he does it? Who knows. But price sells and word travels fast. |
