LESS than 8 months after launching its "direct imports" business, electronics retailer JB Hi-Fi have quietly pulled all of its discounted stock from its website.
Pages that previously linked to digital SLR cameras and accessories, video games and music bought directly from suppliers and sold for the "lowest" possible prices have disappeared from the JB Hi-Fi website.

  Guessing…originally was put online to pressure local suppliers to offer them better deals/rebates(maybe it worked)

  This is BAD. I think either they have been bullied by the distributors or the local stores (who are forced into stupid pricing by the distributors).

  Either way the consumer loses.
