I got The Brick at my local guitar center in Chicago for $340 but it was a display model. My guy at guitar center told me he could do $360 brand new out the door. I guess it depends on the guy you're working with. they go for $399 at Sweetwater.com

You should always check online first, then print out the price before you go in.

They are advertised at 399 at my GC. They usually take some off of that too if you ask. Having a go to guy in the store helps too.

Just do what I do. Walk into guitar center and be on your cell phone with your buddy while looking at the gear you are interested in. I was looking at a Shure KSM44 Mic at guitar center and was talking to my friend how was at home on the net looking on EBAY. I asked the guy how much and he told me 599.99 and my friend said on EBAY there is one from an authorized dealer for 545.99 with free shipping so i turn to the guy and said "Nevermind my friend said he found one on EBAY for 545.99..." the guy dropped it to 540.00. I said "Sold". I've done that several times now and everytime I have saved at least 40-60 bucks each time.

I guess I am going to go and tell them That I want to return it because I found the same product at a lower price on ebay, I hope that does "the trick " for "the brick" thx for your replies....

Make sure you tell them you found it on Ebay from an "Authorized Dealer" who includes any warranty the product may come with. Otherwise GC won't drop price.
