Why use a reseller?
Hello,
Please, can anybody tell my why I shouldn't simply buy Bricscad Lite from Bricsys?
I have been super-pleased to discover Bricscad which seems intuitive for a decades-long (very basic) AutoCAD LT user. But one of the things I resented about Autodesk was the car-dealer feel of the reseller "quotations" etc. I don't understand the reseller system.
A reseller has approached me (after I trialled the free version) and has quoted me a figure slightly lower than the Bricsys price.
Thank you.
Martin

Doing business with a reseller is doing business under their binding terms. I have not had the best experiences with that.So buying directly is my preference. If it costs a bit more I know there is a good chance that that money, including the reseller's margin, will be put into development.So far, I don't have the impression that BricsCAD is a shareholder cash cow - unlike AutoCAD.

Thank you very much. That tallies with my instinct. And yes, I am not interested in the small saving (particularly when measuring it against the vast saving of ditching Autodesk).0

A small addition, I also know resellers who add real value and are always there for you. In that case, the choice of direct purchases is less obvious. Advice: go by your gut and try to find references.

One advantage of using a reseller will be that they have knowledge of other add on packages that may suit your industry. They also have contacts with people who can do customisation for you1
