5/29/2014 5:53pm at the car stereo shop i used to work at (sockdrawer internet retailers/cheap copy cat brands have KILLED a lot of brand value in the auto consumer electronic industry) we used to charge a significantly higher labor rate if the items being installed were purchased somewhere else. half the time, it was broken before we even touched it. you get...

5/29/2014 5:49pm here's the way i see it playing out, having sat on all sides of the "screen" (i've done sales at LBS, MFG, mail order/distributor). from the MFG perspective you want to sell to EVERYone (but don't expect us to stop everything to ship you some tire levers when we're in the middle of packing 7 pallets for our best customer)...
