Question NS CR5M Street Price

I'm looking for an EUB. I'm checking out the CR5-M. I notice that the NS website displays a price of $3,775.

I'm seeing the following prices at different dealers:
$3,029
$3,020
$2,999

I thought that dealers sold for around 30% less...

If these dealers were selling for 30% less, I'd be seeing a street price of $2,643.

What gives?

Joe

There are lots of dealers out there. Bob Gollihur, Lemur, David Gage, Bass Emporium, etc. Some you may have to call or e-mail to get price. I paid $2300 for the CR4. NS did have a modest price increase a few months ago, but those dealers listed as well as a few others should have the most competitive pricing.

Thanks. I forgot about Lemur. They are actually the best price I've seen so far, but not as close to the 30% I was expecting.

30%

electricviolinshop.com has prices right at the 30% off the MSRP for NS Design Basses. I've never done business with them so I can't speak for their service.
