[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7923371, member: 718"] I’m afraid that this is the world we now live in. It’s about efficiency and low business costs relative to the volume sold. While I do feel sorry for the local man who can’t or won’t adapt, I very much like the prices and service provided by these distant sellers on the whole. There are a few local businesses that have adapted and thrive. One that comes to mind is Carmarthen Cameras who have adapted to a declining market by selling from their own website, Amazon and eBay. This has enabled them to expand greatly and even move to new larger premises and employ more people. Less people per units sold of course, but as farmers we are very used to that in our own businesses. Many retailers are only now realising that they need to get more efficient if they are to survive. It’s already too late for many, just look at the boarded up shops everywhere. [/QUOTE]
