| High end stores closing do you really care Sonicbeauty wrote:Great advice. Let me know if you ever hear of one will you?Sarcasm noted, but it doesn't have to be so. If you don't like how you are treated by a dealer there are things you can do besides buying over the phone or the net. For o... | |
