OT: Should we start a Anandtech reseller ratings thread?

[777php]

Mods, if you find this inappropriate please lock and delete.

Until we find a decent replacement for reseller ratings, what if we have a thread here where people can ask about certain e-tailors and have other Anandtechers respond with their own experiences with that company. Whomever starts the thread could continually update the e-tailors in the first post of the thread with the company's ratings. What do you guys think?

Sorry, but this would be more appropriate in Forum Issues. Unfortunately, such a thread would be difficult to manage.

Thread, that would have to be a whole section...one for each reseller.

Me thinks someone bought out reseller ratings so they would take it down.

Something - anything - anyway -anyhow - is better than nothing. And as soon as possible would be the best. The first to the gate wins my patronage, wherever it is...

I think we sort of do that already. People find deals and others critique the reseller with either information from reseller ratings or from their own personal experience. That should be sufficient ... plus, I see nothing wrong with seeking out reseller ratings website to find out what their reputation is.

Resellerratings.com is no more. From their page:

ResellerRatings.com is being discontinued.

i give resellerratings 7 out of 7.

i wonder why it was never out of 10, maybe 7 was their favorite "lucky number"....

I think we should.
