Do Dealers think it is sinful..........

AVNUT,i no longer surport any of my dealer,s in my area,the lack of honesty and misinformation that seems to fill the showroom floors of these so called hi-end experts is becoming a standard format for selling this expensive equipment,I purchase all my equipment on the used market and the 40 to 60% that i save not buying from a dealer, I'll use in the future for my kids college expense,PERIOD.

3chihuahuas: Send me your "want list" and I'll see if I can get you a discount. I can absolutely assure you that, should any of your goodies be available where I shop, you'll get way more than 6% off. In fact, the 6% you get from your "salesman" is pathetic, even embarassing. It wouldn't even cover sales tax where I live. BTW, I am not an audio dealer. If you email me your "wants," you should be able to afford to buy with credit card or cash immediately. Otherwise, please don't bother. rosebud_2884@hotmail.com.

Jtinn, Echo Hifi is indeed the used equip great store in Portland that I deal with regularly. Great people with great service. Go Kurt & Jim !

hello rosebud, this is avnut. i posted a thread on audiogon about dealers and discounts. you mentioned to another poster,3chihuahuas, that he could give you a "want list" if he was prepared to pony up the cash asap. i wondered if you could extend that invitation to me? i am in the market but wont buy until after i return from ces in vegas. the brands i am looking into are classe,mbl,and dodson, transparent and cardas. please let me know. thanks again. harold

I’ve gotten a discount maybe 50% of the time....usually only 5 to 10% max.....some products prevent the dealer from discounting....the price is the price.
