Dingwall Pricing

the best thing to do is to get a bandsaw or a jigsaw with a long enough blade and cut the bass up into 70 or 80 small pieces. Then mail them one at a time to your destination, calling each piece a wood sample. then have the reciever glue them back together. if you do a good enough job on the cutting, the parts should fit nicely. this should cut down on some of the brokerage and duty fees.

good luck.

on the topic of pricing, (perhaps not specifically dingwall pricing) has anyone noticed if its still possible to haggle when you go to a store? or is it more like shopping at walmart? the price on the sticker is the price you pay...

also, is a store more likely to go cheaper if you pay with cash rather than credit card? is there a difference between using a debit card (ie: bank card) for a cash payment verses a briefcase full of bills?

i would assume that the store gets charged some sort of service charge for using electronic payments... does this ever get passed on to the customer?
