Fark You Guitar Center!

Layabout 11.06.2008

To clarify..... This was a project in the works far before the company sold to Bain. The "haggle" is an old way of doing business. Haggling started when prices used to be marked at retail and you could give huge discounts and still make a profit. Since the internet and M.A.P., nothing is marked at retail anymore. Also, I'm sorry to break your hearts but, those of you who "spend thousands" which I hear from everybody by the way does a company nothing if there is no profit. It doesn't matter how much someone spends with us; if there isn't any profit, it doesn't help keep the business strong. Besides, those sales guys slave everyday for just a small commission of the sale which until now has been absorbed by those so called "great customers." This price policy should have been put into works years ago. Guitar Center will continue to be fiercely competitive with their prices. Have you been to any of the recent sales? There has been HUGE discounts right on the boxes unlike ever before. We know our REAL "best customers," understand and thank us for the huge amounts of money we saved them throughout the years and will continue shopping at the best M.I. chain in the world.

This is b.s. Threaten to walk out and you WILL get a discount, especially on the larger ticket items (not on picks or a $30 pedal, of course). In this economy, they have no leverage WHATSOEVER. In the past six months - during which the purported "no haggle" policy has been in place, I continue to get $$$ knocked off of my purchases here in California.

That has worked for me....I was told the same thing.....pay what is marked...I said "See ya". Next time I was there big discounts were back!!!!!!!! Let the buyer beware...You have all the power
