Shocking Service by Local Independent Dealer

A month back I went to my local dealer to enquire about an amplifier and floor standing speakers I had an itch for to see what price they would come up with! The guy in charge managed to source the amp direct from the manufacturer, a return, and got a decent price, less than the river shop, as well as the speakers. I immediately raided the piggy bank and coughed up the full amount. Not only that he delivered said system in two days, fitted it and tested it!
Now I have found out that instead of the £380 I coughed up, the online retailer is selling the same for £480.
Never stop shopping around and asking your local dealer!

So you got a used one for £380 against £480 for new ? Good but not quite "the same "

It was returned in a day to the supplier, and was unboxed. Bar gun! No marks, no nothing. Full manufacturers warranty!molerat said:So you got a used one for £380 against £480 for new ? Good but not quite "the same "I work from home so my cat can be fed on demand!0 -

It's the warm tingly feeling you get up your arm from a good deal or dodgy wiring...
May you find your sister soon Helli.

Maybe it's one of those words that now seems to mean the opposite of what it used to.
Like 'sick'.1 -
