We understand that everybody wants to pay the least amount for what it is they want to buy, we get that, and with Amazon there isn’t anything you can’t find for less than what most brick and mortars price their products at, we get that too. But…
** Here is the deal with price matching off Amazon. Before we can become an “authorized” dealer we sign a binding contract to represent and sell that company’s products at certain price points. That price point takes in account warranty claims, advertising, shipping, R&D, etc. and so we are contractually obligated to honor that pricing guide. And no we just can’t whore that shit out like some sites do. Why? Cause we represent, that’s why.
Now an “unauthorized” dealer doesn’t give a damn about any agreement to sell the products at a set price because they didn’t sign any contract. So, those bastards can whore the shit out of these brands. And they do too, the pricks.
Those products sold don’t come with any manufacturer’s warranty or product support either, something very few sites mention. They might tell you “of course it comes with a manufacturer warranty” but when push comes to shove and you try to submit a claim and send in proof of purchase it is discovered that the unit was purchased from a non-authorized channel and warranty support is denied. So, that’s why price matching has to be on a case by case basis. Come on, throw us a bone, and give us a shot at matching it, you never know…in most cases we will, but we do play by the rules.
