Don't worry, it's nothing bad!!
As many of you know, I am considering purchasing a SLATQH. We all know that Matt quotes the best prices.
But, I was wondering something. Let's say that I call up a few of my local music stores and ask them how much they could sell me a new SLATQH for. If the price is higher than Matt's prices, am I allowed to say, "But www.OnlineStageGear.com is willing to sell it to me for much less than what you're quoting me", and then give the price?
It's really concerning the ethics of everything. Am I allowed to:
a) Mention Matt's website?
b) Mention the price he's willing to sell the guitar for?
Honestly, I'm not trying to take business away from Matt, as we all know he's a totally stand-up guy, but my freaking parents want me to do all this "research" before doing business on the internet in which I cannot see, hear, or play the guitar beforehand. Quite honestly, I don't know what I would do if the guitar arrived scratched/broken. I've only bought T-shirts off the net (as you may know, my parents aren't very liberal with buying stuff off the internet yet).
I am 99% sure that the local music stores will give the retail price or higher on the SLATQH. This is why I asked about the ethics. My parents just want to be sure I get the lowest prices and prefer if I can see the guitar before I put money down on the smooth glass countertop.
Thanks for all the help. I want to do the right thing.
