Bintel works on Saturday. Astro Anarchy works 7 days a week. And to be fair quite a lot of shops are open on Saturday and a few hours later on Thursday so you can pop into after work. Shops should be convenient for buyers, shouldn't they?

True. I still remember a catalogues on websites in PDF with no search etc.
I'm glad this time is over.
Also a new website with a shopping cart doesn't cost a lot nowadays. Astro Anarchy for example has a workable one. Not the best site anyway, but it has ability to order online and process payments via PayPal. Basically a shopping cart is provided by PayPal which costs nothing. Modern world dictates new ways of doing business. If a business doesn't accept or transform then they are loosing sales. That is the reality. I went through that with my own small business as well.
