Dick Smith

I am not a market analyst and I don't dabble on the stock market at all. So all I have to say on that subject is that someone much smarter than me once told me that the only thing you ever need to bear in mind when looking at any offer; financial or otherwise, is that if it seems to good to be true it generally is.

I do think it is very poor form not honouring gift cards, laybys and store credits.

If there is any value to be retrieved from the brand surely it will be more appealing to a buyer if the goodwill is intact, destroying this for some short term pecuniary gain seems shortsighted.
