I'm just not what "position" that's supposed to be, here? I mean, the points he posted above are just basic facts.
The first; "competitve doesn't mean below cost" is just a very truthful statement. One can be competitive without undercutting competitors, just look at Apple.
Apples and oranges, if I may be so bold. Apple doesn't compete with anyone;
no one but Apple (or it's very small number of authorized resellers, who are tightly price-controlled) sells Apple products.so what?
also, that 'very small number of authorized resellers' includes best buy and walmart, which have a *lot* of stores, and there definitely are discounts to be had there, almost always unadvertised.
Back to the conversation, did you not understand the part of my prior post - based on many years in the industry - where I explained that selling below cost might not even match the price of some online sellers? With that in mind, I'll ask you the same as I asked the other guy - what's a competitive price? Match it? 5% more? 10%?all that means is you can't compete anymore and should be selling something else.
