Lbox88 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 If you guys could see some of the things that happen to those 'super deals' in a distribution center, you might be less likely to buy them knowing why they are at those prices. 90% of the time here, other stores will have the same products within 5% of the same cost as each other unless they each start running sales. And to save $3 on $150 worth of groceries and house supplies, I'd rather shop at the store I don't feel like I'm going to get pick-pocketed/robbed/shivved at. Bah, we're derailing the shit out of this thread tho, I'll stop before I say too much lol. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHR Ed Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think They have been on the Walmart site for over a year and only now people bring it up? lol As far as business goes, it's a good move. Wal-Mart has tons more exposure than an dedicated car audio shop. Why not do it? You just have to meet the demand for production. Kicker had to step up when they went to Circuit City because of a required quantity of a few hundred thousand pieces. If you are running a business and have an opportunity to sell a few hundred thousand pieces a year to one customer, what would stop you?

Chris Hammer Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I don't mind Kinetik being at Walmart, doesn't hurt my feelings...good for kinetik getting out there more. My only problem with Walmart here is their store sucks and is a dirty POS. Has to do with the people that shop there mostly, they trash that place on a daily basis, shit all on the floors, it smells. They have the dog food my parents buy for a few bucks less along with some other stuff, they would still rather take two trips to Petsmart and Target then deal with the shitty people and nasty store. Now for RE, never would buy any of their stuff anyway, they are the same as kicker for me.

littlehitter Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Walmart is a great move IMO. Its good for all of us. More brands at walmart means more choices for everyone starting out. After the buy their first el-cheapo system they will want to upgrade just like everybody else in the car audio world. Who knows, maybe walmart will be the key to making the lifestyle grow. Good for the companies getting into the largest retailer on the planet. Growth is always good whether you like the store or not.

LOL Hell, Walmart / Bestbuy seems to be the go to source for noobs who want some beat. Hell...it was for me (best buy) Maybe if they start offering better products, people will buy less boss / xplod and maybe just maybe those garbage brands will vanish.
