The cool thing is, the MSRP is $150 for a set, but I'm getting them for $30 a pair brand new.

 

How are you getting such a good deal?

 

You wouldn't believe how much price gets marked up. I have a part time job at Best Buy which allows me a 5% over at cost discount. For example, an over $500 CD player would only cost me less than $200.

 

Don't give out dealer costs, please...some people make their living selling car audio.

and Decks dont have *that* much markup...

 

Yes they do, I just picked up a Pioneer DEH-P8600MP Head unit for %50 cost brand new. I don't work at a store, I know a guy, ya know?


IMHO the prices are too high on this stuff, I rarely ever pay full price on a unit.

 

Yea.. my friend works at best buy and gets that same discount. He priced out a 2000 dollar system and got it for around $800. Huuuuuggeeeee markup. I buy from ABC Warehouse (michigan) and they sell car stereo stuff nearly at wholesale. I saved 300 bux on my subs/amp/box with install. =D

 

Yeah really, They are robbing you if you think about it. Amazing.
