Originally posted by DodgyAgentDixons is only a monopoly if you cant be arsed to use the net or travel somewhere else to buy the product. If you are arguing that dixons is a monopoly then so is my local Co-op.
Co-op is bad, but not as bad as Dixons- plenty of shops sell groceries, but this is not the case for Dixon's IT stuff - only Dixons and PC World who they own sell the gears on high-street.
Now look Dodgy, I know for fact that Dixons get super-deals from manufacturers - they twise their hands like there is no tomorrow, do you understand what it takes to get manufacturer setup new SKU for the same product just for Dixons? It takes monopolistic power!
It hits you and me even though we don't buy in those shops - manufacturers have to charge higher prices from other than-Dixons supplier to recoup discounts they had to give to Dixons.Comment

Originally posted by AtWAnd Co-op is certainly a local monopoly - this is their strategy - be the only shop on local high-street, their prices are higher than you can get elsewhere and this traps people who can't get to out-of-town supermarket - old folk pensioners.

Originally posted by FranckoWhy? Do you think Tesco or Sainsbury behave much differently?
This is why IT manufacturers may have special SKU just for Dixons and everything else for everyone else, there is nobody else like Dixons - that's why they are a monopoly.Comment

Is there anything (except for strange searching and indexing sites knocked together in a garage that are not even a patch on Google ) that you don't think is a monopoly.
