Not needing to expand
Abercrombie & Fitch, the Ohio-based white supremacist clothing chain that forbids nonwhites from working in sales positions, has cancelled its plans for opening stores in Japan. Known as "abakuro" or "wild black" in Japan, the clothing chain says it will focus its expansion on Anglo-Saxon countries such as Canada and England instead.

But if people could just buy A&F online, what's the point?

No Subject Given
I pay more for the selection and the ability to easily see unmoderated reviews of other people like me who have purchased or used the product. I can easily compare products and prices through the reviews and other resources.
The ammount of information available for an online purchase is massive and is infinatly larger than what you could get from a store display or employee.

Re: Not needing to expand
They should be paying me to advertise for them, I shouldn't be paying them. I would much rather buy my clothing without the manufacturers name emblazoned in 3 inch tall letters across the front. It's cheaper too.
Sorry for posting off-topic.

It's what made Amazon huge
I make my living because the small percentage of people who want my product can find me from anywhere in the world.

Convenience trumps price, mostly
If there's a big difference in the price then I'll deal with the incovenience.
Sometimes though, the ability to go back to the store and return an item makes a big difference too.

I'm with dan on the advertising. If you want me to advertise for you give me the shirt (or whatever) for free. If I have to pay for it then your logo had better be discreet.

It's gotta be both
So to get my money, you have to have exactly what I want, and be the cheapest.

Re: it's easy to find cheep items
I don't think people buy from the Amazon's of the world because they have a great selection, they buy from them because they're well established and safe. They just happen to have a good selection because they've been around awhile.
