Online it’s easy to open the chat window and just ask for the best price they can give you and get a really competitive number. I just don’t think people realize you can do that.
That requires human interaction, and if I'm going to a website, I explicitly don't want that as part of the buying experience. I want a machine that will give me exactly what I want with no delays and minimal salesmanship.
You literally just ask and they give you a better price. There’s no up-sell, they want the transaction completed as quickly as you do.
If you want to pay more they are happy to accept more.
Yes, I've done that on Sweetwater so many times, and they always give me a better price than GC.
Wow, I had no idea this was a thing.
Yup, keeps me coming back. Also open-box specials are a great way to save money.
