When looking at charts, look at the axis value, and movement over time and how each one relates to its fellow contributors.

Retail Sales did drop but now are up above any previous level however some sectors are not performing as well and the broader figures suggest. If you look into this with a little logic, and understanding of the presentation of mathematics in graphic form you will see that some of this relates to increased demand, but others relate, in marketing terms, to pricing it as high as the market will bear.

Furthermore, if you are in retail clothing, you will notice that the retail trading figures include automobiles and parts, petrol (gasoline) stations, building materials and big box items like whitegoods as well as Food and beverages. Whereas for the majority of our customers; who are in either clothing retail, or miscellaneous stores, both of these are up, and department stores are down.

This should provide a touch of optimism, looking forward, this was not the worst Christmas ever, and it was in fact the best and if you consider your personal circumstance and how your finances and expenses affect your income, then perhaps a reshuffle and an investment in efficiency systems is in order.

Factories in Thailand provide drives or drive components for most of the world’s markets. Both Western Digital and Toshiba have halted operations in the country while Seagate’s production is being hampered by a shortage of components.

In Melbourne, prices at the computer swap meets have risen sharply.

Vendors at Sunday’s meets were selling 1TB drives for $140 while 2TB drive prices were in the region of $180.

The swap meet vendors are mostly sole traders and have lower overheads as they operate from their homes, with the weekly stall at the swap meet often being their one public point of sale.

One vendor, Lily Li, who runs her own business, InfoDigital, from her home in Box Hill North, said that before the floods affected supply, she had been able to sell a 1TB drive for $60 and a 2TB drive for $80 to $85.

“All brands have gone up in price,” she said. “I only hope that we continue to get supplies as Christmas is a good time from the point of view of sales.”

MSY, a retail outlet that is reputed to have the lowest prices in Melbourne, has Western Digital 1TB drives listed on its website today for $149 while a 2TB drive of the same brand is $189.

Computer & Parts Land, another well-known retail outlet in Melbourne, has the WD 1TB drives listed for $195 while the 2TB drive is $165.

The shortage of drives is expected to continue well into 2012.

If only we could have sat in on the meeting where the marketing team for this Osaka department store came up with the idea for their “Fuckin’ Sale,” spotted early this month by a reader of Jake Adelstein’s Japan Subculture blog.

-There should be some cool English words on these signs.
-How about “Fuckin’ Sale?”
-What’s that mean?
-Fuckin’ means, like, really good. So it’s a really good sale.
-And there’s no other meaning to “fuckin’? Nothing at all that might embarrass us on the internet? Remember what happened with our Save-a-Shit-Ton promotion…
