street pilot Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Didn't even realize they had a store in Columbus, I usually shop with them online. Is the store big? Evidently the store on Lane will be one of those closing, might be some good deals?

They bought up a couple others, Wolf I believe. However, they got killed due to Circuit City like service and pricing....welll....gear is no longer the money maker due to online sales even by larger and better retailers like B&H and Adorama, etc.... I know the Cord stores very well and their days are numbered too. Right now they are being killed by the credit limits being offered to them. That's why they have near zero stock. Even print carts are lower than they ever should be. It's gotta be killing them to have stock for nearly 46+ stores so low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever been to the Lane Ave store? Size/selection decent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yeah this is the first I had seen the closing list. Ever been to the Lane Ave store? Size/selection decent? once after they first opened. no input on what it's like today. they had the pearl paper I needed and cord didn't so I walked out with that is all. I buy most stuff through the B&H or Adorama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeyondAddiction Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Bout had a heart attack when I saw the thread title, Ritz is who I got my Canon 450D from with full warrenty, so as long as they are open enough to cover that I'm good.
