Well, first of all people tell me all kinds of stuff, some of which is accurate.
Walking into an LDS and paying them whatever they put on a price tag will guarentee that you will pay top dollar, and you will pay more than I.
Since I have been diving for a long time and have a lot of gear hanging around, I have the luxury of waiting for the the gear I want at the right price. I have cash sitting in a safe so when a deal comes along I can spring into action. It has also come in handy for a couple of boat trips others had to cancel at the last minute so I reduced their loss.
It also helps reduce costs, and increases safety IMHO, if you work on your own equipment. Evaluating and servicing used gear helps in making those good deals.
Good Luck
