Sales People

The increasing use of "etailers" such as Newegg is cited at least partially for the demise of profitability in the B&M world.
I believe that's true, more and more people are buying from internet shops because it's cheaper than stores, but the stores can't put their prices down to compete with the websites because they can't afford to, so they eventually lose money and go out of business.

we ourselves may become the next generation of computer salesmen, albeit unpaid. It fascinates me to watch one of our "I'm thinking about building a new computer, what parts should I use" threads evolve.
I agree with this too, if all, or at least most of, the shops get shut down, people will have to look to places like TS and review sites and decide for themselves what to buy, which obviously means that we'll be seeing more people join and ask what they should buy.
