I dont want to start a internet vs BM war, but what would /have some of
you done when your not being taken care of in a retail store.
First off I DO Own My Own Retail store , and understand that you cant give away product and not make enough to cover your overhead and expences or you wont be in business long..business 101.( No I dont own a A/V store).
Secondly , I know the margin I make on a no sale is a big goose egg( O %).
You would think other business's would meet you somewhere in between Full retail and what you can buy over the net. In my business I'f I sold everything at full retail I wouldn't be in business long. I usually have to really sell myself and our business ( not just the product) , and still discount 20-30 % to get the sale.
I't burns me up when I see the a local BM sales people at my store or other area business's squeezing them or me for bigger discounts than the allready sale price they are getting. But stop in their store and they sell everything at retail , and wont bargin, or if you can get a discount its like 10% off at the most.
I'm trying to buy a rx-v2400 from the local BM.I told them I can get it over the internet , with shipping and a extended 3year warranty for around 760.00 complete ($698.00 shipped if I dont get the extended warranty).If I buy local the best they'll do is $888.00 + 64.38 tx=$952.38.
Thats around $250.00 more to buy local?
I didn't go in and make the sales rep give me his half hour to hour product listening sales presentation ( didn't even look or listen to any units), Just told him what I wanted.If they could come within a $100.00 of the shipped price of the internet prices , than they would have my $ and not have to work for it , just take it and give me my box.I even called the sales person last week to buy the unit at his price of 888.00 = tax, but the sales person didn't even call me back after calling 2x in 2 days?? ( No I didn't make a a** out of myself in the store to where the sales person wont call me back because of recognizing my name..just poor follow threw service). So what am I paying the local BM for when I didn't demo any units or ask any questions??????Its funny I called back 2 weeks later to talk with a differnt rep who wouldn't discount at all.." because we have no problem getting full retail, why should we discount the product??)
Soo would you guys pay the extra 200-250 so you can have a authorized warranty , but no good customer service , or risk a second party warranty threw a internet site but save 200-250..$$
