Brad Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 i think for most people it is a combination, although people are often willing to ignore a retailers reputation if the price is right. rebates also don't matter to many because of the hassle (you wouldn't know about that, would you Ross? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Smooth Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I would have to say retailer reputation for the simple reason that I will NOT buy from some vendors, no matter what the price. The others all have an effect on my purchasing decision but if a vendor is shady, they are automatically out of the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockchow Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 1) Coupon or Discount 2) Free Shipping (this can be a bigger deal than the discount on larger items) 4) Retailer Reputation (a bad rep can kill the deal for me i don't like the hassle) 3) Mail-in Rebate (i started ignoreing them since the last 10 i bought never got mailed in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waggy Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 the retailer reputation is my big one. but if its between 2 good places then the shipping is the next choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyDouglas Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Every choice deals with price besides Retailer Reputation. If I believe that the person I am purchasing a product from does not have good business practicies, I will not buy from them. In business, image is everything. The ironic thing, is that before I buy something, I search for the lowest price, then search for good place to buy it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
