I am all for a dealer making a profit, but (assuming Douglass Piano exists, they sell first grade pianos and will actually deliver at the stated price - all mighty big assumptions on the net), that is a BIG difference in price - maybe even enough to fly from Dallas to Wisconsin to check it out. That said, the spread between the two prices sounds mighty high to me - $11,800 vs. It sounded like hype to me then, and it still does. You might notice the "hmmmm." I posted just below the initial post with the Douglass price. RDeutch, you may indeed have been set up.
For me, that was worth the aggravation of a long distance buy.
But I initiated the contact! And yes, I have been satisfied with the purchase. I bought my piano out of state, from a Texas dealer. But if the buyer initiates the contact, and the dealer simply complies with a request, then I think that is just business.Īnd finally, I did just that. To fish for business on an internet forum, by contacting prospective buyers that are out of your territory via email, and then low-balling prices, I think most would agree is unethical. And yes, the shipping will probably cancel out the tax. Even though there is a CW dealer about 90 miles from me - and I think he's a heckuva nice guy, and a good dealer - if I think his price is too high, I'm going to be calling Mr. I'd love to have a CW190, and hope to purchase one in the next few years. I don't know a soul at Douglas, but it is ethical for any dealer to respond to a purchase request from a prospective customer.
Did anybody see a copy of the email from Douglas? Do you know it exists?įor the sake of argument, let us state that the email does exist. HRA is that he is/was telling mistruths in many of his statements. We are missing a large point in our conversation.
