Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

These cars should bring excitement back to the world of muscle cars.

Who cares about vacuum cleaners...........

The year ahead will be the worse for new car sales in over 20 years.  You can't buy a new car if you can't get credit, can't pay the high gas costs [$4 by summer], high food costs, and are in arrears on mortgage/rent and credit card payments.

After you see what's to come, you'll think these last 4 years were the good old days!  I don't envy the next President.  He/she will be a one termer.

We knew all along.  The truth always comes to light.  Interesting the way the facts and circumstances come to light.  Like thieves, in time, liars get caught.

You already set the time frame a year or so back  and missed it.  I predict BB to go out of business in the next 1000 years.

I am certainly glad I did not get the Electrolux.  Got the Bissell HH which was returned.  Spent the card on useful electronics instead.

Hey my man:

I underlined the relevant part of your post.  Prima facie evidence for BEST BUY's culling and dropping high end vacuums from their inventories.  BEST BUY did this in the Spring of 2006 with the Electrolux line.  Then brought it back later in the year.  New vacuum vacuum sales were booming then.  On the contrary now, high price vacuums are not selling.  BB could abandon both high price vacuum lines from their stores [dyson and Electrolux] and/or Web Sites.  Or a combination of both.  Keep the mover in the store and the laggard on the Web.  My sense is that the BEST BUY stores will keep one full line [Electrolux] and one or two of the laggard brand for customer sales.  Electrolux in the store, dyson on the Web Site.  Time will tell.

Dyson needed BEST BUY in 2005 and 2006 to buy up and sell all the DC07 All Floors that Wal*Mart kicked back [after dyson and Wal*Mart parted ways the first time over the bruhaha with the All Carpets price].  Sales of dysons were decent then.  No more.  BEST BUY and Circuit City are in a fight for survival.  And they know it won't be vacuums that save them.  It's electronics.  You can vouch for that.

A post script:  On Wickes Furniture.  A brand new store opened here in North Las Vegas less than one year ago.  Huge.  Supposed to be an anchor store to draw.  In the same mall as the BEST BUY store which opened in August 2007.  Wickes nationwide is going out of business including this new store in NLV.  Over $75 MILLION in unsold inventory.  No doubt a casualty of the sub-prime slime which peaked in August 2006. 

I never thought that the sub-prime slime had enough strong wind to carry it through to August 2006.  I thought the bubble would burst months earlier.  But it moved by its own momentum well into 2007 [June] before bursting and petering out.  Probably due to government intervention.  Sure up election campaigning.  Have to put on a  face and do and say whatever is necessary to help the incumbents in power stay in office.  Even the seasoned democrats and the learned people in the know missed the coming doom.  My timing was a tad bit off, I'll grant you.  But I was right on with the underlying facts and circumstances.   

Like a smart man once said: "You don't know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out.  Then all are exposed."  You can't always predict with exact precision when it will be.  The key is to make sure you are properly covered when it does.

BB and a lot of other stores could do a lot things.  Make enough predictions and you should get at least 1 right.  Regarding your underlined prediction:  At different times you said that Electrolux and Bissell would replace Dyson in BB.  You gave deadlines that I do not intend to search for.  They are past and Dyson is still there. Those who followed you will probably recall.  .

According to guru Carmine each new model Hoover introduced in the past 3 years would be the demise of Dyson.  Bad predictions.  Has anyone found brand new in box Dysons that sell for $50 like the Hoover Z?

Don't forget the Electrolux line which BEST BUY offered to me for 20 percent on the dollar in the spring of 2006.  Only to bring them back in the winter at full price and still. Why? The CR reviews [I think I mentioned that to you several times.  You keep forgetting.]

BISSELL HEALTHY HOME, HOOVER WT 2, and Elite Rewind are the bagless brand uprights still at COSTCO now.  Not dysons.  With a bag, Eureka Smart Vac.  Did I mention that BISSELL HH ties and/or beats all the dysons, save the $550 DC17 Absolute Animal [according to CR]?  Wonder if that had an impact on the COSTCO decision to scrup dysons?  What do you think?

This is old stuff HS, my man.  You and your dysons are going down.  You can't stop it.
