One thing that Sears does, in their shell game, is have manufacturers (Whirlpool) create "Kenmore" products - which tend to have "custom" features - to eliminate having to match on prices with other "comparable" models.. which don't compare.
I wish they improved their furniture offerings. They were better before. Even their clothes line has suffered. Some stuff they sell are not much better than Wal-mart. And we know matching on quality & price isn't going to cut it. (Apparently they are in cost cutting mode.. aka jobs.. goes with the program)
Apparently the new "H&M" from Europe is very good. They state they get new shipments everyday of clothes (fashions) and my wife figured the stuff was of high quality.
I actually tried to see if "FCUK" (fashion line) was an ADR or something.. alas no... my best so far is "Cheap Fcuk" (take off of Cheap Trick's logo..)
(Well you get the point....)
(As for BB & FS.. Tsk tsk.. FP ;-)
I saw a G5 Mac box last week - I was jealous of that alone...
As for the market today... I'm feelin might.. lo..
