[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 4568392, member: 541383"] ever think that the transshipers who sell at near dealer cost are defacing the value of the product? how is a shop buying more and selling for less less overhead? the cost of the product wont come down enough to warrant that. it would be more over head as they have to buy more in hopes of selling more. you would need 2 times++ as many sales to make the same amount. granted i started in car audio when $600 dollar amps were the norm for medium sized high end amps and subs were 300+ for quality but as a shop your "selling area" is not world wide. to a shop owner it is a business not a hobby. for them to warranty a product it costs the shop time and money. wal mart is a multi billion dollar chain store where most stereo shops buy much less and dont have warehouses storing millions of dollars in product. a dealer also has to meet the terms set forth by the manufacturer. if they do not the product in most likelyhood wont be made avalible to the retail shop.
