My friend is a fairly competent DIY electronics technician. His interests in audio amplifiers and power supply is evident in the equipment he builds from scratch. The audio quality is superb as he is knowledgeable enough to use expensive and quality parts only where it matters the most. And more importantly, save cost by using cheaper parts in non-crucial areas.
Seeing the potential of offering high-quality products at very cheap prices, he is considering setting up an online shop. Currently, he is testing a number of online shopping cart software but Ashop Commerce seems to be the one he likes most after a 10-day free trial period.
