      Retail World – You are Surprised ?

      The story today concerning the helpful suggestions from the salespeople at Best Buy and Circuit City concerning backup disks.

      There has got to be no worse business and few jobs worse than the commodity PC business – even including laptops. Sam’s Club or Walmart probably has the most economically rational way of moving these things – set up a skid in the aisle and take your $40 margin per unit.

      So, you can’t blame the retailers for trying to add another revenue point to the mix, especially since many consumers (I expect most SDR listeners) self insure and decline the extended warranty.

      So, as we congratulate ourselves on being such smart consumers, there is one question remaining:

      What’s the equivalent revenue point in Insurance ? Home Finance ? Securities ? Automobile Service ? Clothing ? Lawn Service ? Phone service ? .. The list goes on, and I am not feeling quite as smart as before.
