Out of 4 sources, crutchfield is the odd man out. As noted, CR looks to have an incorrect price listed. The other 2 sources are the same as the manufacturers page.
One is the manufactures page and for some reason earmark and crutchfield differ from each other as well as the ws page. Look at the pricing closer. I just always thought the prices we set by Tim and dealers abided by it. When I bought my ws eq that is what I was told .
Again, out of all the examples I have sampled since this came up yesterday, crutchfield seems to have an incorrect price listed on a couple models. Not sure how else to word it..................
in RE to pricing. All manufactures set an MSRP. Go to exile, JL, Kicker, what ever. Dealers are not forced to sell at that price, but simply agree to list all advertised prices at MSRP. This only really applies online retailers. I dont think you will find too many local retail outlets listing price on the internet. Dealers are free to discount as deep as their own pockets can stand.
Whether JL Audio or Wetsounds or from many others, there are advertising guidelines such as MAP, Minimum Advertised Price. Beyond that, setting the 'sell' price is restriction of trade.
Most dealers respect the manufacturer guidelines as well as the rest of the dealer community and do not discount within the context of advertising. Many of the heavy on-line discounters are not actually authorized dealers.
Wetsounds has a business model where they support their dealers so that their dealers take care of their customers. And the Wetsounds support to dealers is stellar, which is why there are so many more domestic Wetsounds dealers.
Wetsounds leaves the discounting to the dealers.
There is a major misconception that Wetsounds pricing is not competitive in the sense of discounts. Not true. You will find the exact same bundling packages, forum discounts, zone discounts, and system discounts.
MlA I guess I have to simplify it even more for you since website snap shots are not good enough to compare against
The reason I added my .02 was that the Rev 10 is on a great deal at crutchfield and the price is Correct I verified it with them and found a lot of inconsistent pricing other places , you guys like facts not sure what else I can do for you the facts speak for themselves.

Here's the point...if you want facts.
The Crutchfield price is wrong because they sell at MAP unless there is a manufacturer sponsored sale. That is a data entry mistake. Those models were just added to their site recently. It will be fixed and you will see the price change sometime in the near future. Until then I would assume they must honor the price.
You compared the price to Earmark which also lists pricing at MAP in accordance with their manufacturers. However, with the Earmark forum discount I would guess you can get the Crutchfield price (presently in error and soon to be changed) at any time.
And I am positive that until the Crutchfield price is fixed that every Wetsounds dealer will match any Crutchfield price. Now and always.
So I wouldn't make a big production over one data entry mistake that is temporary.
Doesn't he know the forum rules, Drew? "6) Not a venue for agents or representatives of any company or business entity to advertise or promote any website, cause, movement, group, product, or service."Quote:

David, Did you not read the other post , Read the chat verbiage, that is what they are selling for 1049 deal with IT its a good price for our forum members who are looking at the product , Period ! you called me out I challenge you and you sir are the one who is WRONG! But as you can see earmark and WS don't match either HMM why are the Icon * cheaper at earmark is there a "special " sale going on. I really hate when provided with facts you both still try and spin it.Quote:

FYI the spin clamps are 25% cheaper at crutchfield a s well, maybe Bill have special relationship the independent dealers are aware of :rolleyes:
disclosure: I am not an employee nor an equity stake owner in the above corporate accusation :cool:
So you are saying that the manufacturer in incorrect and their new inline retailer is correct?Quote:

OMG. Get a grip. Look a little deeper. You're providing bad info.Quote:

And the Earmark price is presently the same as the Crutchfield price on the Rev10, in at least one of its manifestations.
Not to mention the additional forum discounts, zone discounts and system discounts that Crutchfield does not offer.
So let's put it into context, and not just take a fraction of how final pricing is arrived at.
your off your rocker they are priced the same way. go do it yourself and screen shot them.. apples to apple no discounts straight up web pricing.
I found the forum a deal and you cant handle it WTF is wrong with you guys.
LOL - what did I say about 90 posts ago??Quote:

Here is what I suggest.
This is simply in response to Joe's assertions.
As members, check ALL information and links for yourself. Please don't take my word for it, or Joe's word for that matter. Check for yourself!
Then, based on everything that has been shared in this thread, contact all parties involved and find out what additional discounts are available to forum members.
That is the only way you will get the final and real bottom line price.
If Joe is really wanting to help members then I'm sure he will agree with your findings.
I think what they're holding onto is the idea that it really doesn't matter in the end what the published prices are online for WS, that you can go into a dealer and wheel and deal to get a better price.Quote:

I think that you found a decent deal for people that can't go to a dealer and negotiate themselves a better (unpublished) price.
No, I'm really not speaking about wheeling and dealing...at all. In this case I'm limiting the conversation to the parties raised by Joe. I'm talking about a set non-negotiable price structure in place for all members.Quote:

Do what? not sure its me thats not handling it. Its an incorrect price, so what. No one stated its not there, just that its not a correct MSRP, a typo, so what.....Quote:
