Its not a crazy attitude at all, it is testement to the other posts that follow below yours that many of the online stock checkers ARE NOT accurate, this does not interest me in the slightest for our business.
We carry over 24,000 lines at DMS (more , I think I am safe in saying than almost anywhere), and we "stock it heavily" too. I am not prepapred to spend 1,000's of our money on "top of the range" software and fully automated EPOS systems that will be less money spent on the most important thing of all...stock!!
You show me a system that can be had cheap, that is 100% accurate, with an "easy" way to add 24,000 lines to the inventory that includes mobile barcode scanners for when we are trackside, then DMS will add it to our system instantly. This is where many of the other shops score highly, they dont sell trackside, whereas we do to support the racers, this adds the "sell it when it is already sold" equation in which we simply do not want to do. It would only take a few instances of letting customers down with "promised" stock that was "available" online and customers would leave in their droves, we simply cannot risk that, nor can we justify the 1,000's on the system that would be needed to avoid it...
