> As far as I recall there is a good Jaycar in Glenfield Auckland

At the present time, wrt parts, ANY Jaycar is streaks ahead of
ANY DSE. It's a little bewildering actually. DSE have by far the
larger number of outlets, yet they're not capitalising on that. Not
on the component front anyway

Maybe the money really is in cheap imports, but everyone else
has twigged to that too. And other stores don't sell components

Well, <catty> neither do DSE ;-) </catty>

I've sent a "Why ?" email to DSE. Wondering whether I'll get any
snippets of long-term company policy
