David Ayers Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 So I go to the hifi store to buy speaker cable. The guy points to an empty rack and starts to tell me the prices. I stop him and ask if he actually has any cable to sell me. He says no, the guys have taken it all out on an installation job. Every roll of every kind of cable they had. I actually need it immediately for an installation of my own (remodeling, finite window of opportunity). So nobody who wanted cable, nobody who went instore to buy a whole system for example, could get cable that day. Maybe that works for them, as a business model. Who knows?
