Good point! Equally interesting would be the situation for price matching

mail order companies. Buying computer hardware by mail order and haggling

over the cost due to other adverts carrying cheaper prices is almost as much

fun (I'm a sick man, I know) as doing a shop-to-shop haggle on Tottenham

Court Road.


With so many new "mail order" companies springing up on-line, with

presumably low overheads and possibly thus lower prices, things could become

very complicated for the trad retailers.
