1350562 2013-08-03 23:57:00 Does anyone know what's happened with iFocus?
Their website is 'temporarily closed' and when I drove past their store, it was closed with a for sale (/rent?) sign in the window? :confused:

Thanks

Conclusion.

I'd say they are closed.

Disengorging brain and associated matter.

2. No signs to say that they are moving either.

I appreciate your concern for my plight. :crying

Yeah well pbtech do it but they at least do it with HUGE volume, and on top of that they usually have semi-reputable parts too.

QMB focused too much on "Super cheap junk quality" stuff, I took my business elsewhere, it's worth paying just that *little* bit extra generally.

PB may be cheap for some stuff, but they're actually quite pricey for others, and it's a bit of a mixed bag - I guess they trust volume on the cheap stuff, and "I'll get it while I'm here it's only $20 difference" on the other stuff type attitudes ;)

Has to be the most retarded business plan I have ever encountered.
