I had a small PC Business. When the Internet Rebates came out with a free PC, we couldn't match that. However, the AOL or MSN monthly fee was $35 or $27 for dial-up. We had Brick.net for $10 a month and $500 to $700 mid-end PCs. We couldn't compete and went out of business.
- Spooky23 1y agoYeah that really killed the golden goose. Brick and mortar computer retailer and collapsing prices cant mix - you can’t cross sell high margin services and products with a $400-400 rebate purchase. When I moved out of retail to professional internships, they were looking to enhance margins by selling candy and DVDs. Best Buy survived that era with appliances and TVs.
