It is always a YMMV event.. I bought my outboard for a fraction of the new price as they agreed to my terms buying the show model.. Hate to say it this way - but it is about personal relations sometimes. When you are in all the time and the staff get to know you and your spending habits you get more leverage and that goes for any store you go to. I do hope tho that they become more competitive off the cuff because alot of customers really do not want to deal with rebates, and price matching - they just want to go to one place and think they walk away ok price wise...
