Guitar Center

I woke up early this morning. This was a big day for me. I got my 20% off certificate from Guitar Center for being "in their top 5 percent" frequent shopper. To celebrate this honor, I couldn't wait to finally get my pair of SRM 450's. I could finally afford them. But guess what. I could only use the certificate to purchase one item. But I hoped that since most people buy speakers in pairs, the both would qualify. But, NO! So thank God for online shopping, and credit cards.

Use the web

When I bought my Phantom X8 at Guitar Center, I had previously shopped the web. I found the best price I could get, and it was from a place that wouldn't charge me tax (because they were from outside California).

I expected to have to haggle, but as soon as I mentioned that I found it cheaper on the Internet, the salesman grabbed the printout I had, and went to the register, and rung it up so that after tax, it matched the deal on the web! So it was an even better deal, because I would have had to pay shipping otherwise. I didn't even have to haggle one bit, and saved about $650.

The bottom line here is that you can use the web to your advantage, but still get your gear locally.

Guitar Center--which one?

Just curious.. which store did u do this at? I just found a good price on an X6 at MusiciansBuy.com. Both Guitar Center on-line & the store in Concord matched it, but would not match the (tax free) price.
