Lots of friends and good people on this board got boned by Fred. By Monster slipping in, it lessened their chances of getting anything back. I hold no personal grudge against Monster, I just think people should know the whole story. The fact that they're competing against their own distributor/customers is certainly frosting on the cake. Combine the two and I think you get a fairly clear picture of their ethical makeup. I look at it this way- if a guy will f someone else, what stops him from f'ing me?

Thanks. I appreciate your offer, but it's going make shopping awful time-consuming if I have to go to every potential vendor to see if they are willing to discount their prices from what's listed on their site. Hope you understand...

As far as the whole Trick/Monster saga goes, I don't have a dog in the fight. Someone asked about Monster, and I provided a response. My business will always go to those who give me the best deal. That's the point of a free market.

.
We have to list the MAP prices per the manufacturers or they will drop us. But can sell for less. I do understand. Just trying to help and clear it up.

Also, the best "deal" is not always the best price. Unfortunately alot of people have learned that the hard way. A fair price with great service and excellent product is the best deal.
