All reputed manufacturers have minimum advertised price restriction on their products by retailers. be it online or B&M

for e.g: Sony X model Bluray player should not be advertised as less than $100 by any of their retailers....instead they can issue store coupons or online coupons...but never they can advertise as Sony X for $90 ...

hence minimum selling price lets say $100

online retailer ki aithe adhi $90 charge jeyyali, B&M ki aithe $80 charge cheyyaali.....

but as a manufacturer why one should care who the F is retailer ? as long as retailer pays him base price he is happy to deliver the product to them

OT & KKD, that is exactly what I am wondering. Asalu Handy cams, digital cameras lantivi evarayina Best Buy lo kontaara?

Laptop section lo eppudoo janaalu untaaru, don't know how many buy them.

Computer parts asalu konaru anukuntaa (Mouse, keyboard, graphics cards, speakers, hard drives etc).

TVs, maa voorlo ayithey HHGregg ani inko chain undi. Best Buy lo choostharu, HHGregg lo kontaaru. Veedu India lo street vendor daggara beram ettinatlu eduathaadu. Go with any online price, you can negotiate less than that (not just match it). okati rendu sarlu maa manager ni adigi vasthaa ani chebuthaadu, but final gaa oppukuntaadu. I bought my TV like that in 2010 January. online price ni beat chesaadu, shipping fee badulu tax katti intiki pattukellaa.

Manufacturers should have two pricing models & pricing restrictions

They should give it for lower base price to B&M retail stores compared to Online retailers...

otherwise all B&M stores will shutdown in very few years...esp electronic goods/home appliances one

Scallion, for KY, we have to pay tax on Amazon. We have a huge Amazon Warehouse in town. Newegg ayithey no tax (I think CA residents have to pay tax).

Is Best Buy at risk of becoming another Circuit City?

My current gaming mouse (use a different mouse for just browsing) from 2005 is getting too old, and I went to Best Buy (on an impulse, after having a nice lunch on Sunday) to buy a new mouse. I loved the Cyborg R.A.T 7 mouse tagged at $99.99. I used the cellphone's bar code scanner and it was available for $75.99 at Amazon.

I politely asked the guys if they are going to match the price or they prefer to lose my business. They said, "Sorry, we can't match Amazon". Right in front of them, I bought the mouse from Amazon.

If this trend keeps growing, people will visit Brick & Mortar stores like Best Buy only to view and play with the items on display, but never buy them. So, how are they going to survive in the long run? Is Best Buy at risk of becoming another Circuit City?

B&M stores have a lot of overhead, leasing the store space, employees, electricity etc. How can they match the competitive prices of online only stores like Amazon and Newegg, who have very little overhead?
