I heard the same thing but there's a shop in Melbourne that give 5% discount on the Teric and 7% on the Perdix, you probably know who I'm talking about
Best place to buy a Teric?

Need to dive more!

Yes I do.
And there was a shop in Perth that was selling transmistters $125 cheaper than RRP. I got price matched on the Teric, and was assuming I would on the transmitter too but didn't, and then during the wait time SW vanished from that shop's offering.
Anyways, I just fly and dive, and get another 10% off ... water's too cold here!

True that!
I'm off to Bali in three weeks, first time in Bali and first (proper) dive trip. Can't wait
Bargain with the LDS to throw something else in for free. I do that. Buy a Shearwater from us and I’ll throw in fins and a mask.

I actually think the $1095 is a fair price for the value. I didn't have a problem at time of purchase when comparing to other options on the market and after using it, felt like I received a bargain as it exceeded expectations.

I didn't think that it was legal for manufactures to fix prices. I think they can require a MAP but to dictate sale price? I talked about this in another post, but didn't Nintendo get sued for exactly this type of price fixing? I'm no expert and I'm not trying to stir the pot. In fact, I love Shearwater, I just thought that the practice was a no no.

Apple have always done it.
discounts from many makers are a thing of the past now that so many use MAP to control prices. MAP has its pros and cons in theory. look to buy a "USED ITEM" quite often advertised as a end of season demo in like new condition. You probably have better chance buying on ebay. Makers do track non map sold items through warrantee card info. Fill in the wrong stuff and you stab the seller in the back.
MAP is price fixing under the correct legal wording. Im not sure that price fixing is technally that unless several makers of similar products conspire to set prices. one maker setting the price on one item does not constitute price fixing as there is still competition allowed form other makers. the price fixing has been and always will be worked around by sellers so long as you buy more than the one item. buy the comptuer and get an OW course free, or other (non map) gear at cost. You will see in some stores that they are not allowed to sell the demo. that is the work around by the makers to stop selling new gear as demo's or used gear.
