This is the exact reason why we would never price match when we sold Dish/DTV equipment.
We stocked over $100,000 of product, which really is not that much if you actually stock all the systems and accessories that go along with DBS products, but was far, far more than any local or internet dealer had available. We always guaranteed shipping within -24- hours because we preached that it was IN STOCK and stayed true to that fact. Now here comes Mr/Mrs customer on the phone or in the showroom wanting a better price than we offered for it, saying, so and so sells it cheaper. Well, I always wondered why, if so and so had it cheaper, why didn`t the customer just purchase it from them and not call or visit us ?
Anyway, we never price matched for the one customer that wanted it because via the internet or other source, they would tell our last ten customers we gave them a special deal and WHAM... everybody was angry.
With exception of the foreign customers ( who were few and far between, beside the fact they never wanted to buy American commission able programming ), most all of the price matchers that contacted us ended up purchasing from us.
Boy this was long
