$746.10 is a killer price? I know you could not have gotten it for less than that as SP only allows a 10% discount off of MSRP. I would hate to think that Beaver Divers is going against the all mighty SP.
Hog Regulator Combo or get something better ???

Correct me if im wrong- but working with companies that do not allow discounted prices as such only pertain to advertised prices. Not the actual sell price. Shops can seek it at their price if wanted but just can't advertise or list the discount price. Right?

The MK 25 was ever so slightly used. Therefore the price was FAR, FAR less than $746.10 and that's with a brand new A700.
As a Scubapro Platinum Dealer we have created the " New Platinum Market", much better than the old grey market.
Beaver Divers is able to offer our clients better service at the best deal. Because we buy more intelligently and receive the best service, we are better able to offer Platinum Service.
The secret is out, that is why we are shipping SubGear/Scubapro gear nation-wide.
( Sorry if this sounds like an ad, I'm just responding to Aqua-Andy's post. )
Are we having FUN, yet?

My experience with Beaver Divers has been phenomenal. I first came to know Casey because I had questions about the back plate and wing. I knew he had 40 years of experience and he would be a good source of information. I, myself, have been diving for over 22 years and I have never had an interest in diving a back plate and wing and I wondered what all the fuss was about. Since, I have a BC that fits me like a glove. I am also humble enough to know that in my many years of diving that I don't know everything.
After speaking with Casey (just so you know that in all conversations about different gear options he has never bad mouthed any brand of gear and even as far as our discussion just yesterday he has never bad mouthed the Hog regulators to me) and informing him that I had students who needed gear, we started talking about subgear regulators. He sold my students, at a very nice price; a BCD, regulator, and computer package. I also needed mesh bags and asked for a brand that I already know and liked and he suggested subgear mesh bags that he felt was a little nicer and bigger but also came for a lower price. He could have sold me the most expensive one. In all of my dealing with Casey he has always been very fair, and has a wealth of information about diving and scuba equipment. I know that Casey truly believes in the quality of Scubapro and Subgear products and so do I. We both also know that in our many years of combined diving experience there are many other good products on the market and they will all do a fine job if they are properly maintained and serviced by qualified personal.
Again, I trust Casey's opinion and experience and will come to him with any questions I have!

While that is how MAP (minimum advertised price) works, that is not the way the dealer agreement with Scubapro or Aqualung work. That agreement is a minimum sale price (MSRP minus 10%). Retailer who violate that price restriction are subject to lose their dealership (as happened with Aqualung and Divesport). Of course, there are ways the retailer can get around it including mixed brand package deals and fake receipts. Maybe that is why it required an all Scubapro package to qualify for the current PFL program.
