Had a similar issue with a dealer in Nashua, NH. I auditioned 2 pairs of speakers in the 12K range. When I expressed interest in purchasing one of the pairs, I was told that the price had gone up. I asked if he would honor his advertised price and he said no. I left without buying them. I occasionally check his website and the old prices are still up on his webpage. Certainly, no update is coming soon. I don't do business with people I can't trust.
Dealers Who Refuse to Honor Their Published Web Prices
This is the 2nd time I've had this experience. Yesterday I was on the Audio Advice website and they had advertised an Auralic Aries G2.2 for $3,899. I called with my credit card to order - was told this was an error and that an "old web page" had inadvertently been published. How does this happen? They took down the web page - but I have the saved screen shot for $3,899.
When I'm in a grocery store or a department store, these stores aways honor the sticker price - even if it's an error. I don't know what other audio stores with integrity would do. I know what Audio Advice did - and I have the screen shot to prove it.
Anybody with similar experiences?
