Wait a moment. Let's back up a tiny bit. Do you seriously think Brad (impious) is a troll? He is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced on this site, I might know. Also, the price that the brand sets and tell's a shop to sell at, is not being ripped off. It is called an NDA, meaning we are bound by contract to sell at that price. I would prefer not to piss off AA just to make a few more sales, I'll always leave the undercutting to the shady / slimy types that keep popping up trying to make a quick buck in car audio. As for team pricing, owning a brand and being a past competitor, 90% of the time, if you have to ask for a competitor discount, you probably don't deserve it. Meaning, it has to benefit the company, and most of the time, they will search out competitors that they feel would be a positive addition to their competition team. Just a little food for thought.
