Last weekend I went to the local Rickenbacker dealer and they had three 330 in stock
two were Ruby color and one was Mapleglow. Now the Natural one two weeks ago was
1399.00 and the new Ruby ones were 1427.00. Now the Natural one went up to 1427.00
which has been in stock before the other two came in. Is this something that music stores
do? Do they raise the price to match the new ones.
Do most music stores do this?

They certainly can if they want. If you aren't happy try to have someone beat the price, or tell them what you're telling us and they may honor the old price. It's only $30 so they have no reason not to work with you.raider wrote:...the Natural one two weeks ago was 1399.00 and the new Ruby ones were 1427.00.

Re: Do most music stores do this?
I wonder if part of the increase, isn't to make up for lost profit, due to sales tax (there is no sales tax for online purchases [here in Wisconsin - although if you're a good little boy or girl, you're supposed to declare the monetary value for any online purchases made during the year, on your state income tax form])
