...but why should we spend more for no added benefit? As an example, I bought my last TV from John Lewis - it was more expensive but I could see the added value of the service they were adding. That is why John Lewis is still successfull.
But why would I buy a CD from HMV when I can get it cheaper via Amazon/Tesco' - I get nothing extra from HMV?
