Lane,
I couldn't find a single thing wrong with your site. The prices were not all that bad, the site loaded quickly and the shopping cart was easily modified. I didn't have a problem at all. The specs for the products was good and I like that the pictures enlarge so you can see more detail, but the picture quality was a bit off....It really ticks me off when you click on a photo to see more detail and picture appears the same size as it did originally.
I read an article about on-line shopping, and I have tried it's suggested technique myself. Sometimes, when you add something to the cart and then stop just short of buying, a site will come back with a coupon to entice you to finish the purchase. I've tried it with Amazon, where I frequently shop, but no dice. I have gotten notices later, though of price changes and different offers from other sites...like alibaba (they are really annoying, actually). So the folks that are dropping out are likely trying to get the product at a discount and are hoping the site is desperate enough to offer a discount.
I think the site is great...I've added it to my list of repair purchase sites....keep up the good work.

Only thing I found wrong was the part where Apple is going to sue you for using 'eParts' :

Hiya Lane,
I'm not the kind of person who pays a lot of attention to web sites when I start shopping, but your "live chat" button caught my eye right away. Even though it wasn't working - it's right there and I didn't have to search for it. I liked the site - easy to move around and see what you're looking for. Is there a pattern to when people are dropping their cart and moving on? I don't know if it's possible to see just how far they got in the order process......if it is, perhaps that will tell you when they stop doing their business......somethng's gotta be bugging them......or did I mis-read your post?
My 2 cents worth

Hey Lane
Ok so the site is clean great layout .... the only thing is some products over lap ...
such as Cables and Connectors,then you have Luminous cables under the Computer Accessories
In Components & Parts, Other , you may want to move some around to the other sections . A cable is a cable even if its a Dell specific. ( Maybe a OEM Parts subsection as part the main catagories )
Computer Hardware
>>>>components & Parts , OEM

1. blog posts should be by a person not "admin". might also be a security risk since you just confirmed the admin's username is in fact "admin".
2. the left menu on the blog page has non-function items (page cannot be displayed).
3. abandoned carts is part of the game. 60% is a normal figure.
4. prices seem ok, as well as shipping.
p.s. I just abandoned my cart :twisted:

A few thoughts:
I find the "prominent" ADD TO CART buttons next to each item enticing. Made me want to start selecting products. (Of course I would eventually abandon them in the shopping cart. :o)
ABOUT page conveys the family / personal melieu that I think you're wanting to accomplish. Since you have a lot of non-IT products, it may be more appropriate change the "IT Experience" heading on the second section. Perhaps just plain "Experience." You can leave the "IT" in the verbiage.
Considering the many ESC ppl who don't like Lane, there seems to be a lot of response to his request. LOL

Is there anybody here who doesn't like you Lane? I thought it was only me! But that is only when you come out of nowhere and shoot me you punk!!
The site has a good layout and I like it in general. I thought that you could have more options on the "Narrow items by" option at least on items that have hundreds or thousands of options to choose from. For instance if am looking for a particular processor type, I go to cpus and processors then click on amd on the "narrow items by option", still too many to show. So if people are looking for a Socket FM1 or AM3 etc. You could have "Socket type" on the "Narrow items by" options and save some time to the customer. I know that i could just type Socket FM1 at the search box but sometimes it is easy for me to find it on the screen instead of typing it. Besides after you click on AMD on the "narrow items by" option, the search options for that particular area disappears. Too picky?
Another thing, i know that you have your sales marquee on the main page, but how about a "limited time" sale on a different box could be a particular item or maybe a few interesting or eye catching gadgets that could make your customers come back to site on a daily basis. I know you could get a lot of impulse buyers to keep coming back. Could be only for a few hours or a 12 or 24 hour special.
A "Featured Product" on your main page could be another option. Something fresh that everyone is talking about or expecting to get info about.
Android, Win8 or apple apps? People are using that a lot nowadays. I know i check my amazon, newegg apps everyday just to see if they have any good sales.
Good job Lane I hope this helps.
