Fellas,
I do not want this thread to go off in a negative direction. First let me say, that am not an authorized online retailer due to my choice. I do not have the time to run an online click-n-buy type e-store. I also do not want to tie up the capital to stock the necessary inventory quantities. Again, this is my choice and is not on my horizon right now.
Wet Sounds asks this of their dealers in order to uphold the integrity and quality of the product. It prevent costly price wars among dealers, in which the customer only wins, but for a short time. It allows me as the local dealer, to sell to my local customers in which I can actually make a profit. I truly appreciate the loyalty, but ask please that no one protest Wet Sounds. Imagine what our Tige's would be worth if a dealer was selling at deep discounts all across the US, undercutting your local dealer. Many many top-shelf quality products have similar provisions in there dealer agreements.
I recommended Earmark because David contributes a lot of time and effort to the marine audio online community. Although he and I are, to some degree, competitors, I consider him a friend, and one who I respect.
Thanks,
