Come on Samy and Mike's Camera!

7 years 5 months ago #502533 by Frost Photography
So I was up in NYC last week for the Photo Plus show.  Which by the way was good this year. I noticed a few names not there.  However over all, pretty good.  I got to visit B&H and Adorama in person and @#$#  why can't we have a walk in store like these on the west cost?  Yeah, we have Samy's or if you are up north, Mike's camera.  However these are so much smaller than B&H or Adorama.  


Just saying, Samy or Mike, how about an extension, knock out a wall or two!

Quite an investment in a shrinking market. Then have to sell on a thin, manufacturer demanded margin?  Why should they? B&Ms are going away and money knows it....

Why so serious?

:agree:   to high cost, that is why most stores are smart and focused on web sales.  Less overhead for greater reach.

Only now Amazon is teasing that they will have their own B&M bookstores!  Hummm
