SavageduckIIRC B&H sends people to locations were they set up a small area. This could include camera stores that receive a percentage of the gross that B&H does from that location. it's win, win for both B&H and the local location. That B&H has such a deal with local camera stores, is pure speculation on my part. That B&H has travelling representatives, is not speculation.

Here is Camera & Camera, my preferred store in Auckland. This what they sell: https://www.camera-camera.com/And here is what they sell it in: http://tinyurl.com/ku9es8fPhysically they are not large but judging by what they do, they are quite a big store. At least they feel that way to me.Sandman
I'm not sure what I should do with this information.
It might help you give a reference point when people use words like, large, small, tiny, microscopic etc.
I'm quite interested in what Jonas considers to be a "big" store. B&H is a 70,000 square foot store.
The camera section isn't. You know, the section we're talking about. I didn't include the model train section in the size of the Colonial either, since it is of no interest to a camera store size discussion.Tony CooperSandman
Something like 5,000 people a day shop at B&H. How would you fit them in a "tiny" store.
I'm sure the camera section of B&H actually is significantly larger than colonial, when comparing area, but smaller when it comes to actual photorelated merchandise.
You can't possibly be serious, unless you were in Bob & Harry's photo store. You don't sound as if you actually visited B&H Photo Video.
