In terms of internet marketing and "store front", most savvy people will not shop from some sub-directory of a family owned website. When I shop online, I'm looking for the credibility that comes from a domain name owned by a company whose name is on the front page.

That store front does not instill a sense of buyer confidence.  Plus there is a difference between saving 50 dollars and 50 cents.  I usually will not spend hours searching and comparison shopping, when the best result might only save a few bucks.

I'd do it, but have to raise my prices to compensate.  I've always been proud of the prices I've been able to offer.

The site was never meant to be permenant.  And no, it's not a major source of income (barely any, actually).  I started it when I couldn't find some of the parts I wanted at a price I wanted to pay, unless I bought them in bulk.  I thought to myself, "I bet others feel the same" so I did buy them in bulk, and turned around the savings to help the community.

Turnaround has actually been very good - up until recently.  I've just been curious about the dropoff.

As for product selection, sometimes it's limited by what *I* can get.

But I'm always eager to hear what people want.  Molex wiring kit?  That sounds like an interesting idea.  And I'll see what I can do about yellow wire.  I mean, I already have red and black, so...

But you have no problem giving them a credit card number.

Why do you think i havent ordered a wire kit?

If it was on *just* CC orders, I'd consider that as well.  Paypal takes their cut from ALL orders when you upgrade.
