When I thanked them for their time and said I would look elsewhere, another e-mail showed up sometime later matching the price. A.) That discourages the competition from shopping them and wasting their time. B.) They hope to discourage you from pursuing the lower price, and you'll agree to a higher price if they are the only retailer with the item in question. (Old retail trick. Salesman makes an offer, customer replies with, "What do you think I'm stupid?" Answer. "No sir. I don't think you're stupid, but just in case you were, I didn't want to miss you.")
Like I said, some S-B members have been having luck, some haven't. Be patient.
Also, try Dennis Kirk. If they have it in stock. They'll match it. | Roger that
Thanks much!
