Anyway - my trustworthy Giro cylce helmet starts to disintegrate after 26 years of use, so I decided to hunt this afternoon for a new one.
Went first to Torpedo 7 ... and found out that even the basic model (something like $110) didn't offer a visor. Didn't like the colours on offer either. Pretty empty shop as well (I was the only customer) - why are we shareholders paying for empty premises offering goods nobody wants?
Happened to be afterwards in the warehouse and found that a very similar helmet like the $110 helmet in Torpedo 7 is $ 35 at the warehouse (sure, different brand, but same interior, same safety standard and same boring colours) ... same - without visor. Decided to look somewhere else. On my way back to the exit I noticed that most of the articles in the electronic department (like cellphones ...) are on "sold out". Not a lot of customers in this shop either.
Just wondering whether they make a lot of money with putting empty shelves on offer?
Was wondering this morning whether I should buy some more WHS shares (I do have a medium sized holding), but decided after this experience that I don't feel good enough abut WHS to buy more shares ... felt too much like shopping in some postwar socialist country where you buy what's available instead of what you want. Wouldn't buy Intershop shares either.
Anyway - more shares available for beagle, this is good :):
