I don't expect to make every sale. there are tons of great vendors out there.
I don't always have the best price either but I try. Ovation is a tough market to compete in sometimes.
For me, it's worth it to pay a little more up front to someone who you know/trust/respect than to pay a little less to the Mega Dealers. I know that when I buy from Al (I'm still saving for that Adamas, Al) my purchases are important to him. With some of the Megas, my purchases can be offset by pilferage and at the end of the day don't really matter to them, but to Al, a guitar sale can help him over the top for that day.
The satisfaction of knowing that my purchase is important and has been personally inspected by someone who knows what he is doing is well worth the little extra price.
Support our small (well, maybe not so small :rolleyes: ) business man and you will both be happy! |
