Got My Quote Back

[Cygnus X1]

yall need to lighten up already, this shits getting really old. noone reads the user agreement, most of you probably didnt so get the hell over it. its the net for christ sakes, grow the fuck up and let the admins take care of it.

Of course it's the admin's job. But my opinion is if someone wants to be on a forum, they ought to take the time to read the rules. I get sick of seeing posts that don't even get the basics. My understanding is that dealer quotes are forbidden.

So then dont even bother posting a post like this its useless ...

And I get sick of seeing endless posts of people trying to act superior to n00bs because they didnt read the rules. The fact of the matter is, MOST message boards have visible classifieds from day one, most dont have restrictions on what prices you can post. This one is diffent... not that its bad, but its different and most people dont realize it. Let the admins do their job and just worry about making quality posts once in a while and all should be good.

Point taken.

"In our never ending search for the perfect gear, we often get some great pricing from dealers. Do them a favor and don't post those prices on internet forums; it can be viewed as MAP violation, and it can hurt the dealer you're trying to buy from."

I wouldn't think custom shop prices fall into this category, unless the dealer is giving a break on the list price? I'm not sure how the whole custom shop thing works, i.e. how much the dealer pays for it.

I'd think list prices would be okay to post, but dealers give a certain discount percentage. The end price can be different from dealer to dealer. If you get a custom price quote from one dealer, don't post it here, as another dealer's price may be different.

What's the big deal if he post's the quote without mentioning the dealer? Who cares? FMIC has all but killed the Jackson/Charvel CS with the last round of price hikes and crooked floyds. How many new CS pieces have we seen posted here over the last year? Not many!

Honestly, even if he got a good deal on a cs, I personally won't wait 2 friggin years to get my guitar. Not trying to beat a dead horse or piss on Caraluzzo's day but I would bet there are a lot of guys like me who have the money to buy customs all day long but don't want to wait as long as it takes them to build one. My opinion is they are missing out on many opportunities.

Caraluzzo - I'm glad you got your quote and it was better than you expected. We'll be looking for you to post pics of it when you get it in 2010.

I ordered a PC1 in Dec 2005....I'm still waiting!!! Nuff said.

This is common? I have so much to learn... Do they send you a loaner?

[RacerX]

I just wanna know if this caraluzo fella ever refunded that dude's $70 for that crappy V deal over on the other board...

[tolstoi]

Where'd he go?
