[QUOTE="Tonteldoos, post: 203457, member: 689"] I don't disagree with any of the sentiments here, and I don't appreciate being ripped off either. And I don't believe I've been ripped off in all my years dealing with one of the dealers mentioned here. But I do know that when I've gone back to them wanting to upgrade, I've received value for my trade-in, regardless of whether the old equipment had become completely obsolete. I've received almost 30% discount on a new CD player when my old DVD player packed up, and the old DVD player was irreparable - it was absolutely worthless. And yes, I know, you could argue that it just goes to show how much margins are being made, but for me it means that, within reason, I would rather stick to a local supplier than take a chance trying to import something myself. Doesn't mean I haven't and wouldn't buy direct, but I think if a dealer gets their service and pricing just right, they should end up with a lifelong customer. [/QUOTE]
