There have been some queries as to why I am not mentioning prices in my product/brand thread. Srini and I also discussed the concept of selling products through an online shop. I aim to provide some explanation here on what I am doing and the reasons for the same.
1. The online shop will NOT sell products that are available now in India through distributors and dealers. I am looking at products that are under 10K only. Products will be things such as connectors, cables, power cords, switches, and some media. I am not even considering things like amplifiers, players, speakers etc.
2. Decibel, as of today, is not much into retail sale. We are into projects where we install a complete audio or AV system for clients.
3. The products we are showing or talking about have multiple variations and versions. Amplifiers have varying capacities, HT systems have configurations, etc. Unless these are finalised, there is not much value in mentioning some prices.
4. The products and brands we are highlighting is more to spread awareness of their availability. The idea is that you read about the product and put it in the back of your mind, and when you are looking at installing a AV system, you will remember the product, and then start talking to us about prices. By that time, prices will have changed.
5. Some of the products/brands we have, we have representation only in TN and Chennai. These products/brands are represented by other who are our friends in other places. We do not want to hurt anyone by mentioning prices randomly.
6. I am always available to answer any question through PM. If, as I have done a few times, the product(s) price(s) can be shown, I have done so in the thread itself.
7. In terms of prices being high or low, these are prices fixed by the manufacturer and/or the distributor.
Cheers
