My local dealer is very good about keeping a stable line of products. Some have been in the store for 10+ years. Every two years one line is dropped/picked up. Just here lately I inquired about them dropping VAC, he said the owner wanted to scale back on the number of lines they were carrying. Thus ARC stays, and VAC didn't (mistake I think). MikE
Dealers and changing product lines
I tend to visit the local audio/video dealers in the area every year or so just to see what they have on display and what is new. It seems as though many of them change product lines every two to three years. In fact, what is happening is dealers are essentially swapping product lines every few years. Is this a normal practice in the business? Some times I will call a manufacturer and they will give me the name of a dealer and when I call the dealer they tell me they no longer carry the product line. I guess I am just curious. I find it strange that manufacturers are sometimes not even current with the dealers that carry their products.
