[QUOTE="Judy@Rtec, post: 855204, member: 13608"] +1... and if you are a reseller reliant on a wholesaler, prices can jump overnight if they have been forecasting (or lack thereof) and you happen to run out of stock in the interim. In the audio industry (as with other) people price beat, so chances are you may get better prices telephonically on some items with a dealer not willing to give you a formal proforma just to price beat elsewhere. So unless a dealer has a monopoly on a certain item, posting a price online is just an invitation for another dealer to match or beat such price, without even giving the initial dealer the opportunity to "sell". We've all done it... playing one seller up against another. It's not always nice, but I do it especially when buying cars. I get the best price I can and then go to my preferred seller to match it.
