JP Rizal Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 May I ask how you plan to get these equipment installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anirud1 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 My dealer will install which he is okay to install bought elsewhere.If you are wondering why I did not ask the same question to the dealer - I did already, and no luck there.

SMHarman Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Some thoughts. Wholesale is not 160/100 of retail. What you want are new or latest gen items. They are realistically installed and not being ripped out for upgrades. Dealers are not supposed to sell online so what you are looking for is a big ask. IANAD.

Tokead Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks for sharingNo problem. I don't know what the dealers cost is, and until I found this I didn't even know what the recommended retail was. It's interesting when you see the price of some items on eBay and know they're above retail. Sometimes it's better to establish a relationship with a dealer, get a discount, warranty and peace of mind. There's some great dealers on this forum.

anirud1 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Understood, that is exactly I'm tying to figure, to purchase current and future c4 gear and establish relationship.I am receiving good PM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Dealers likely make a profit selling new stuff on eBay but then with eBay fees control4 shipping fees staff overhead and well the real money is made on integration and it's not allowed by the dealer agreement so there is that. I agree the WMBs and 250s And 800s with licences are going for a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
