Re: Now that Vern's gone ADI is the same as it used to be.

I stopped buying from ADI 5 years ago. It turns out I get better pricing for
Ademco equipment on the internet, no matter how much I buy.

ADI is suppose to be a wholesale distributor. But if you really shop around,
you will find that most of ADI's pricing is close to retail on most items.
It's no wonder many dealers buy direct from the manufacturers or from other
distributors.

ADI also claims they don't sell their stuff on the internet. I have proof to
the contrary. ADI uses several surplus dealers to sell off alot of dead and
older inventory, instead of passing the savings along to the dealer. I have
even seen Ademco 5800 wireless transmitters available in bulk on the
internet. If you follow their stock counts closely, you can see that as the
auctions of eBay sell, their instock quantities drop dramatically. One
surplus dealer in New Jersey was photographed with having 2 ADI trailers
loaded with alarm equipment to be sold on the internet.

And when you take a look at the eBay sellers other items, all the items are
carried in the ADI catalog. When ADI no longer carried Napco, do you really
think ADI sent it all back to Napco for credit? Nope. A good part of it was
sold on the internet through several surplus dealers.
