Damned peer pressure!

If GC is selling it for that, what must he have sold it for? Ouch.


I'll let you know. Most times, a music store will mark it up to double what they put in it. That way, they have a lot of room to negotiate. I would have loved to intervene there, and buy it directly from the guy for that price!

The guy let me look at the transaction screen, and apparently, they gave him $975 for it, and it had a price tag of $1499. At least that's what he showed me. I have to be honest and tell you that I talked him down to $1295, and I had a $100 store credit, so it came to $1195.
