I am suggesting that dealers, after having closed the deal on your major purchace, will then suggest some accessories to complement your system. The profits on these accessories are substantial. So yes, not only am I suggesting that they will, they do.
If the above is your example of a good dealer then we two have quite different definitions of good. Good for him for sure though.
Not for free stuff but for certain considerations as thanks for his craftily written reviews. Harley has never been out for the common man and his Listener's Manifesto, written in the early 90's I think was a joke. I will see if my local library carries his latest book though. Yes, he reviews equipment and it's sold through dealers.
My purpose for responding was to urge the poster to aggressively seek the best deal he can get. When the salesman disappears in the manager's office that's their version of good guy bad guy. Maybe they're establishing the lowest limit. Maybe the manager's telling him if he goes below $X then his commission gets reduced. Maybe they're discussing the A-Rod trade. It's all part of the game. The better the consumer is informed about how the game is played, then he can play it too. After all, odds are against you if you hit on 19.
