#Ami buyer scared off!!

Tell him that the price is the problem… dealers can make more selling adobe
photoshop to a mac customer than selling them an amiga 600hd and a ream of SW.
They can display amigas just to sell expensive systems against them.
Arnie: Problem is, as far as I know, this dealer sells Amigas and only
Amigas. Amazing that they stay in business without actually 'selling'
their product. Their clientele must KNOW what they want before they get
there! <g>

Maybe that dealer has been spoiled by Amiga-savvy people who come in and
help themselves most of the time. I know dealers like that. The customers
don't WANT to be bothered, and usually know more than the sales staff,
which uses the breather to do other things. Not good for a novice, of
course.
Ron: That is very possible. The dealer is located in close proximity to
several fine universities and high-tech industries. These people know what
they want BEFORE they come in. Also, there may be a large and loyal Amiga
user base in the greater Boston area, and with no other dealers around
that I know of, north of Hartford, he could very well "serve" an area
encompassing the best part of two states. Of course, that doesn't say much
about New England…
