Surely the man hiumself should sue Woolworths to take his face off
everything, as they now do zero of what his chain was originally
about.
Unless he has no pride.
Indeed. Well, AFAIK Dick did sell his name and image, so...
OTOH, if I were him, I'd be trying to divorce myself from the DSE
brand as much as possible at this point. Perhaps he ought to change
his name by deed poll!
Wasn't there some rumoured rider they had to keep selling components and
other basic items to retain the Dick Smith 'endorsement' and naming rights,
given that was what Dick was so enthusiastic about making available to
budding tecnical generations ?
Possibly the rider was only for a set amount of years? I've no idea if
such a rider existed or not though.

What Dick used to do was sell you resistors that with a 98% profit
margin and tantalum's with an 86% margin*. Then he got on TV to complain
how IKEA was ripping of Australians
* my very first job was as a salesman at DSE Chermside.
There may be an miss read in what DSE used to call a profit margin. I
assure you this is what DSE used:
A product that sold with a 98% profit margin meant (to DSE - I had an
argument and had to check it more than once) that of the product sales
price (say 3 cents for a resistor) 98% of that 3 cents was profit. Only
0.2% was the product cost to DSE.
The staff discount scheme was you could buy anything for your own use
for cost price plus 10%. I forget how many resistors you could get for a
cent - they were so cheap you only bought the 1% metal film and tantalum
caps that retailed for over a dollar were less than 20 cents. Everyone
had lots of experience in using this scheme, I assure you this is
accurate.
