[QUOTE="3kgtAudio, post: 8201372, member: 565768"] hmm maybe I should setup shop in the ghetto then lol. It is the information age, but there still are plenty of people who just do not have the skills necessary to go tearin into their car. But yeah, the subtle expectation is that people want dealer cost and free install, and some of these ghetto shops around here have to be laundering money or something, because you cant give product away at cost and then install it for pennies and stay in business. There are people who are willing to pay for someone to take their time and give them quality service, unfortunately that is far from the majority, from my perspective at least. Buyers out there - you may love it, but if your not a business, you shouldn't be able to get stuff at dealer cost. You may jump up and down and scream how you deserve it, but you don't. Thats why there is MAP = minimum advertized price. These online supersellers don't give a crap though, and the manufacturers look the other way. Grey markets online have totally cut the dealers out of the picture and are giving away their products. I suppose their logic is $5 is a good margin if they sell 1000 a day. Good for buyer and good for that massive warehouse, but killer for the economy. [/QUOTE]
