Your opinion wanted

Had an e-mail contact with an amp producer last week which offered me a head directly from the factory for 1700£ without VAT. Andersons offers the same Head for 1899 with VAT which makes it 1557 without VAT. That means the company offers the Head for factory sale (which they officially don`t have) for 166£ more (VAT included) than the musicstore. I would call that a pretty bad offer from the factory if not a joke. Am i oversensitive when that makes me not wanting their amps anymore???

Usually the factory is not in competition with their dealers, so they wont under sell them.

I would put it this way. They say ok when you are buying from the musicstore you have to wait at least 6 month which is the delivery time. If you are buying from us you can get it tomorrrow. But!! you have to pay more for that service. Ok we could send to the dealer which could sell you for 1899 but we won`t do that because we earn more if we sell directley to you. So in that way they are cheating the musicstore /dealer and the customer. Am i wrong?
