If everywhere else charges less they are overpriced by definition from a customers point of view. |

You have to be doing HUGE stock turnover to be able to work on margins like that... | ether that or the people who run those stores are doing those prices because they're really nice people and want to help out the common man  | |

They might not even have to really keep any stock, just order what they need when they get an order. I ordered a Maudio keystation and it took me nearly a month to get it... id rather have went to a shop and got it. | |

Give them a call and check.. looks like they'll be open, but i dont know if they'll be accepting the vouchers.. Quote:
It has emerged that 10 Sound Control stores, including those in Manchester City and Glasgow West, have been closed with immediate effect. Manchester Salford and Glasgow City have remained open
These are among 14 stores that will be kept open for 90 days in the hope of turning the business around to get the best price from bidders.
The following Sound Control stores, along with Turnkey will remain open for business:
Birmingham
Bristol
Edinburgh
Glasgow City
Leicester
London
Manchester Salford
Norwich
Sheffield
Dundee
Newcastle
Stockton
Stoke
Dunfermline
