My regs and computers I shopped online and then printed out best prices and took them to local Diveshops in my area. For my computer they matched my deal and on my regs I got a better deal from the LDS. Not all shops will do matching but those worth their beans will attempt to work with you. Some brands can't be discounted because of the sales agreement between the manufacturer and the retailer. When you see these on sale either the manufacture has authorized the price or it is gray market and without a manufacturers warranty. I find it more productive to just eliminate those brands from my shopping list. Other manufacturers only restrict advertizing prices but the dealer is free to discount. Both these marketing groups offer a selection of products from entry level to advanced and of multiple levels of quality. I advise anyone that asks to only purchase those brands and support a free market economy.
