Shouldn't shareholders also sue Woolworth's management, if Woolworth sold Dick Smith way too cheaply?
If you don't know Woolworths is under immense pressure from their competitors Coles and Aldi and with their other side project aka distraction Masters also struggling they really need to focus and execute.
Closer to topic though, when buying a new TV last week my wife and I didn't even consider Dick Smith. They can't really compete with Harvey Norman, Retravision, Good Guys or JB Hi Fi.
Meanwhile, Jaycar and Altronics have slotted nicely into the hobby electronics market that used to be Dick Smith's domain.
