"Question for Tony and SR people....."

Just out of interest, and I know you may not be able/want to answer this, but I was wondering:

Which bit of SR gets the most business, and which bit gets the most profit?

I don't mean bits as in, PCs or consoles, I mean out of mailorder sales, the internet sales, and the shops.

Also, do the people who use the forums spend much money at SR? So do the regulars (and I mean regular users, not just because they have regular status, if you see what I mean) spend over £45 a day, to cover GAD and FAD give-a-ways?

Thanks.

Thanks for answering them Tony.

Over ere.....yes the man with a toilet for his leg.....
Has any one ever tried to rob SR

Question for you Tony...

Out of interest is SR secure on the money front? Your not going to go down the toilet so to speak... just it would be a shame for that to happen to such a great company and owner :D

Last time I bought a game not from SR was back in January :)

I reccomend all my mates and family... brother bought jedi Knights today for £15... he his pleased as he could not find it anywhere else and what a bargain it was :D

And I know for a fact my mate bought that 'Cold War' game.. won at No.1 and he's chuffed

So Hip Hip Horrah

On late night Tony... Insomnia? join the club :D

Youre up a bit late Tony?

You been having bad dreams?! ;)

It's not a loss leader. It's the "way of the internet".

We "get" people to the site and then we try to sell them stuff, that's for sure. That's why the site is here. It costs £thousands per month to keep it here, so it has to have an income.

We like (love) recommendations. We hate advertising - it's a mugs game. You wouldn't believe how expensive it is for what you get back in return.

I don't mind people not buying anything, it's up to them. If they are are here and taking part then that's good enough for me. I hope they will buy from us in the future though.

Mostly yes.

I fully intend to support SR by buying posting a lot and giving them lots of page impressions.
It's because of these forums that I'll be doing that.

FM: Sans credit.

I fully intend to support SR by buying my GAMECUBE and accessories from them.

You get people in with temptations and (possibly) free stuff, then hope they spend lots of money and recommend the place?

But wouldn't it be cheaper to advertise, or do you prefer word-of-mouth recommendations?

Also, sorry for all the questions, but doesn't it annoy you when people come on the fourms just to win games and never buy things from you?
