Sears to sell Craftsman to Stanley/B&D

Thanks, but it was Mike Marlow that bitched about it, I pointed out bitching about it to the lame doesn't work.

You of course brought up your own issue, and then argued against your own issue (Classic Strawman).

I was willing to play, so Right back at ya.

They have to make enough customers happy to keep in business. They don't have to make _you_ happy.

Well, if Amazon says it is for sale for a nickle, plus 20 cents shipping, who am I to argue?

If Amazon increased the price in a couple of years from $12 to $28 dollars and Walmart sells the same item for $14 today, then I get a feel for what something is worth. Otherwise, I can look at an item, like a 5 cent shelf bracket and say, yeah, looks like about a 5 - 10 cent item, and should be sold for under 79 cents allowing for large profits and ridiculous shipping and handling fees. You may not mind paying $28 for something you can readily buy elsewhere for $14 but I don't enjoy getting gouged, and exercise due diligence.

No one is forced to supply Walmart and I am not forced to buy from Walmart. Walmart MUST pay what the suppler demands and the supplier must charge what Walmart is willing to pay. Otherwise, no deal is made.

I buy mostly at Sams club, it's generally cheaper than Walmart.

The cheapest I could find my Sony earphones was thru Walmart on line, so, that's where I bought them. I was a happy camper, and bought 2 of them. I don't know if Walmart, their supplier, or the manufacturer was happy, I know I was OK with it. I'll let you lose sleep over the rest of it.

We can all make up a story to contradict the expected results.

Somed customers cannot be satisfied - even if you PAID them to take the product (because then they'd have nothing to biutch about, and only bitching makes them happy.

Some customers also need to be "fired"

Yeah, since you've been ranting, Amazon stock has been really tanking.

It appears that StanelyBD will have to honor the warranty Craftsman products sold by Sears unless Sears holdings goes belly up.

If Sears Holdings goes under, SB&D is not contractually obligated to support warranty claims for Craftsman tools that were sold at Sears. Based on comments made during the conference call, it seems possible SB&D might choose to honor those claims to protect the reputation of the brand and because the obligation is expected to be ?only? $5M per year?which to a company the size of SB&D is probably not much.

More details.
