    Negotiating Price with Dealers?

    What an extraordinary post. Are you an industry insider? Or a retailer? Or are you just making it up?

    Del will be along in a minute to deny he's an audiophile..... Despite all the evidence to the contrary. 😂😂

    That will teach him! (I'm laughing but I'm prone to the same behaviour)

    Darko is charming? He verges on dour and occasionally tells his audience off for asking questions in the comments section. Then their is Tarun from a British Audiophile who is so dull, I can't get to the end of one of his reviews. Each to their own.

    I get that. You are dissatisfied because you were looking for a 'proper' review and that isn't what is provided on Riff. You get a brief overview and a good deal of banter and chat. The charm thing is funny, because I find them both amusing and possessed of a good deal of charm. I wonder if you...

    Negotiating Price with Dealers?

    Which translates to : " we are trying to make a living, don't take the piss" Customers were always trying to get me to go to their homes, until I started to charge for it. Then, remarkably, it was no longer so important.

    I felt the same at first. Poor production values and too little preparation. But, you have to catch the vibe. They maunder on and go off at a tangent and you are invited along for the chat. They aren't taking it too seriously and you shouldn't either it's, a complete antidote to people like...

    Negotiating Price with Dealers?

    Nothing wrong with this Firstly it alerts the preferred dealer to the fact that there are deals out there on that product and secondly it's just plain a good deed.

    Negotiating Price with Dealers?

    I was a retailer for thirty years and every goon on the planet reckons they know what your margin is and their estimate is always far more than it actually is. They also completely forget that you have overheads. I frequently offered deals to customers, who had been good enough to support me...

    Nottingham Analogue (Space Deck) VS Rega/Linn/Michell etc.

    I'll need your help to dress the arm cable if I upgrade the arm Colin. I have a Roksan Nima to try.
