This past weekend I walked into a popular LDS to buy a DIN adapter for my first stage.
My first question was, "Do you have it in stock, and how much is it?"
Their reply, "We can order it, and It depends on WHO YOU ARE, but around 50ish"
It ended up being more like 70ish, I guess I wasn't on their 'A' list!
It seems if you're a regular you get a decent price, if not you get gouged. Guess who's not going to becoming a regular? I ended up buying the part without a grumble on my part, but you can bet its the last time I buy something from that LDS.
Why is it that a lot of LDS's don't post prices, but make you ask? They throw out a high number then say they can, "work with you on the price". I'm not in Turkey haggling for the best deal on a carpet, I just want a price so I can buy what I want and get out of there.
Its not just the price that is converting people to online stores, but the attitude of a lot of local LDS's that turn buying equipment into something like buying a car. Who wants go through that headache just to buy some gear?
