Either, this is foreign talk.
Or a sick joke/troll from another forum. Possibly that other bass forum that hates TB, the name escapes me...

First of all go back to the penut galleriie, I had help from a Grammar police before I posted it, second of all its the new year and we should try to get along with everyone, but not holding my breath here, thirdly if you knew me you would know I was the niceest dude you will meet. Ok! Ok! seriously though, why did he give it to me for cheep deal? It plays like it did 4 months ago.

Because no store charges what is on the tag. Whats on the tag is known as a MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). Its also called a list price.

Invalid Link Removed is what you bought? It's listed as $695, like you said. Like I said, no one charges the actual list price.

Look here. This Cort lists for $650, but what MF is actually selling it for is $423. A difference of about 35%. The bass you bought listed for $695 and he charged you $593. A difference of about 15%.

He didn't cut you a friendly deal... he ripped you off.
