Here's a scenario that is closely related to this thread. I phoned two shops I have bought gear from in the past. The first one was away, so I left a message. The second one gave me information that I was looking for, and I committed to buy the equipment from him. A couple days later, the first LDS returned my message by phone. We spoke about the equipment, and he informed me that he just started selling this piece of gear, and that he could sell it for nearly 40% less than what I committed to buy it for from the other LDS. He didn't know anything about the other LDS price or that I even spoke to him. I called the first LDS back to let him know what the other shop offered to sell it for, and he was understandably upset. He is going to contact the manufacturer and squeal. I feel bad about the situation, and would rather buy from the first LDS, but the price difference is about $300. What would you do in that situation?
