What bothers me is the insane MSRP that gets put on an item so the dealer can "discount" you 20 or 30% so you feel like you got a deal. For example an ARC Ref 750 MSRP is a cool $84,000 plus tax. Are they insane? Have you ever looked inside one of these? Cheap frame, messy wiring, not very impressive caps....disappointing from a once great company.
Then someone wants to sell a used one a decade old they ask $42,000 arguing that "It's half of retail". No it is not. And it won't sell anywhere near that. And it didn't sell for anywhere near MSRP when it was new.
