www.rexdivecenter.com has had good prices on DUI suits in the past. Never dealt with them though.
Find a shop that gives DM or instructor price breaks...oh yeah, and then get your DM or instructor

NUDI,
I too have been investigatign the pricing of Dry suits. DUI has a program in which they sell refurb suits with full waranty for $800 or so.
I can't speak for everyone, but I hate to pay MSRP for anything!!!

I didn't ask for a discount... but I got a sizable one anyway. And it isn't like I'm one of the groupies in there buying stuff all the time either... fact is I don't even buy airfills.
So I think that if you patronize an establishment regularly you should be able to do as good by asking for a discount.

You gotta ask.
There is considerable margin in a DUI suit. There are a lot of dealers out there - its not unreasonable to ask for a discount to keep you in the dealer.
In So Cal, Sport Chalet just became a DUI dealer - their REGULAR price on a 450 is $1695...I believe that considerably less than MSRP.

I've been pricing out a lot of equipment lately and have come to one conclusion, Canada (where I live) is actually less expensive for dive gear than the US and the UK - at least based on mail order/Internet/grey market prices. This could be due to distributer pricing or on slimmer margins, but it's worth a look. Remember that one canadian dollar is only 64¢ US. There are canadian taxes however...
Try these guys, especially if you are in up state NY. I know they sell DUI suits at less than MSRP.

Like most shops their web pages do not have prices due to restrictions of the manufactuers, but I think they will ship to most places, and if you are out of state there is no provincial taxes.

Every dive shop I contacted in my DUI search offered me a "big discount" off MSRP. I wound up paying $500.00 less than most of them wanted. Caveat emptor.
BTW, this was prior to the new "minimum discount" policy that was to have gone into effect at the beginning of this year.
Anyone know if that actually took place, and if so, what effect it had?
