...this thread reminded me when my son bought a galien kruger head and 4x10 cab. they had one on the floor at guitar center...$750 total. he played it, liked it, so he bought it. they wheeled out the floor model for him to take, and i said "no, we want unopened cartons". they said they only had one left and it was the floor model, and even though it was a bit worn here and there they wouldn't discount (wouldn't have taken it anyway). they said they could order one, so we did up the paper work, and there was an additional $175 on the bill. i asked what that was for, and they said "shipping"
we walked out, went to another local music shop and bough the same rig for $490 new, unopened cartons. turns out they weren't carrying galien kruger any longer and were discounting their remaining stock.
