Oh yeah,and lets not forget the MFGS. making sure you can't go across the street to buy the same thing.(across town is sometimes not possible) The Net may change this/ or is. Much of the used is offered by dealers. That tells me they have "poor" relations with their own customer base and thus must use the outreach method.Most every dealer expects me to buy only what they sell. Most dealers "HATE" to discount. Why do you think unions were started?:To achieve some leveling of the playing field. I think it sure has been needed.Just the fact that they have to order the product for you/ or that you took it for a "drive" are reasons to charge full pop. Thankfully that IS changing,because we are not all traine "Negotiators".
Do Dealers think it is sinful..........
..... to give a customer a break on the price of high end audio equipment? is there something ethically wrong with this? why is it that i can negotiate down the price of a car or real estate many thousands of dollars, but i cant even get a discount on something the dealer (1) doesnt stock, (2) will not let you bring home for a day. i feel that when you are spending big $, like 8k + on a sale there should be some give and take. what do you think?
