Re: Maplin stores
One advantage to selling the low value stuff is it gets people through the door. I once went to a hi-fi shop to buy a couple of blank audio CDs at 75p each and came out with a £30 video recorder.
As I said before, people who buy things like Arduinos and Pis need little bits to go with them and are more likely to buy from somewhere where they can get everything at once. So not selling them a few shillings-worth of components could well cost them the sale of a more expensive item.
