691125	2008-07-22 06:09:00	I'd say he's dreaming if he's expecting to get that much in this economic climate.	utopian201 (6245)
691126	2008-07-22 06:30:00	If the site has sooo much potential then why is he wanting to sell it? I didn't actually think that the margins on PCs and PC parts were actually that great due to the high level of competition around the place. Also Dell has had the online BTO scene tied up for the last 10 years and their profit margins are pretty slim or at least the model they use is although they do a lot of revenue. Also the site says "lowest prices in NZ" so where do they get their "profit" margins from :confused: Admittedly the site appears to be fairly well designed.	vitalstatistix (9182)

691128	2008-07-22 07:03:00	Also the site says "lowest prices in NZ" so where do they get their "profit" margins from :confused: The prices advertised on the site aren't to bad - But lowest :groan: Some of the items priced I can easily beat or match, and I'm sure others who work in the industry could as well. - That's going on individual pricing - Mind you the question asked before is interesting, if the site has that much potential why sell it ? - good point vitalstatistix :thumbs:	wainuitech (129)
691129	2008-07-22 07:17:00	Looks interesting but bit overpriced for me, parts are reasonable but wonder what customer service is like	gary67 (56)

Totally Agree. I notice the "visitor Hits" are high for a site like that in NZ - Now if the Hits were actual sales - that's a different matter.	wainuitech (129)
691132	2008-07-22 08:06:00	If the site has as much potential as the seller claims then PF1's very own pctek should be a bloody millionaire by now - unless she is already but is keeping very quiet about it........<crickets>	vitalstatistix (9182)
691133	2008-07-22 08:10:00	When I had my on-line shop listed on Pricespy the hits were in the hundreds of thousands.....Think I made about 2 sales a week from it, and lost money on each one as the delivery costs were more then the margin of profit, You had to cut your own throat and stab yourself in the eye to get anywhere near the top of the lists on Pricespy. That aside, I believe it worked quite well in getting people to visit my page, and then walk into the shop to enquire about full systems.	Metla (12)
