Too right. I get my kids' piano sheet music from a mom and pop place that's been around for ages. So last time we're in there, I decide to poke around the guitar and home studio section. I see one of these on a shelf in plastic wrap - not in the box. There's a note on the top that says "30% off - Water damage to box - unit New and undamaged". They had had a roof leak a few months previous. I picked it up and sure enough, the unit and all associated manuals, cables and disks were still in their plastic - just sans box. I rolled it over - thinking "I've been meaning to get something like this" only to roll to the price tag. . $139 . So wait... mom... pop... you want me to spend $40 (40% more) than the going price at ANY number of retailers? There's a line I gotta cross. I love mom and pop... but 40% for less is a hard pill to swallow. I gently put the unit back on the shelf and went back to drooling at the Gretsch on the wall.The big issue with this is price difference.
Yeah there's a line for me and 40% is way over that line.
