[QUOTE="klassic, post: 916578, member: 559732"] nope. you didn't show me any statistics to make your claim either but it wont take but a google search to show how e-sales have affected retailers in the car aftermarket (car audio or otherwise). Either way statistic will only show a correlation between two things happening, they dont show proof one CAUSED the other. How many more jobs does walmart offer to a community compared to a independant mommy and daddy owned shop? How much money does a walmart save its customers shopping in the community compared to the independent shop? Do you really need statistics to show the obvious? I've been into car audio and car modifications (since 89') long enough to use my common sense which tells me if local product cost 50-100% more than same product online a significant amount of people are going to chose online. So a few local stores go out of business. A few detroit factory workers lost their jobs to cheap mexican labor so chevy could make an attempt to compete with toyota. A few thousand MCI employee's lost their job so MCI could compete with bell atlantic. Shit happens and the survivors still manage to survive. [/QUOTE]
