| 1314557 | 2012-11-24 20:03:00 | I'm not surprised they suffered that loss. The re branding did them nothing. They are exactly the same at every other shitty electronics peddler in NZ. They had a great chance to re brand and sell different and competitive products such as non crap TV's and PC's as well as electronic components. Now I need to drive into wellington to Jaycar if I run out of 330 resistors :( | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1314558 | 2012-11-24 20:52:00 | If they have managers like they do in the Napier branch no wonder they make a loss. :) |

| 1314559 | 2012-11-24 22:04:00 | The demise of home electronics hobbying is more or less world wide. "Electronics, a dying hobby/job?" aardvark.co.nz "What Happened to the Electronics Hobby?" www.hawestv.com I suppose we have to be grateful that Jaycar set up branches in NZ, though when I want anything it is easier to go online than to drive into Wellington. There can't be much incentive these days for youngsters to get into the hobby. |

| 1314561 | 2012-11-24 22:24:00 | You are right. I now get digital/electronic low to mid price items from trademe or particularly ebay. Such a vast diverse range for so much cheaper. Our local dick smiths mega store is just empty space. Many customers go there to get photo's processed. Not much else. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1314562 | 2012-11-24 22:31:00 | They turfed out their electronics draws of switches, fuses etc and lost me in heartbeat. Now I have to drive to Jaycar. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1314563 | 2012-11-24 23:52:00 | Just reading over this it looks like dickhead smith lost a lot of custom to jaycar! I buy most of my stuff online but when you need something it's great to nip down to dicky's and grab it (not any more tho) As a younger chap I used to enjoy their Funway electronic kits. Great things they were!! came with all the parts and a pre made PCB, all you did was figure out where each bit went and solder it down. |
