Re: ADI vs. Internet Pricing

Contact some smaller distributors, they want the business. i usually
get a better deal from my distributor than ADI. they are a small outfit
but they always come through.

Exactly Robert.. I was finding CCTV stuff much cheaper through the
internet and on sites that were retail, not dealer discounted. No
application, no resale ID... support, I dont know? But I am a small
two man shop and my volume with ADI is minimal, thus the pricing
column I fall into is prob. the highest tier.. For me, being a small
operator, I am prob better off cultivating a relationship with an
online vendor than dealing with ADI.. they want big guys.. not me.
