I expect to be paid fairly for the job I perform for my employer and I am willing to pay a fair price for products and services and extra for higher quality stuff.
I agree. Unfortunately, the markup you pay at one dealer versus another doesn't transfer to the people making the RV or automobile. As long as there is so much buffer in the RV/Auto prices, it makes sense to shop.
For RVs we are talking about 10s of thousands of dollars saved or even 100s of thousands for the big RVs. There are a few dealers that list the actual price in the ads, but not many.
I'd rather there be one price everywhere instead of playing a game, but as long as there is a game, many of us will play it.
Yup. Is not my fault the RV industry as well as the auto industry sets the pricing structure up as it is. When Saturn came out with their no haggle pricing my friend of mine bought one cause "he doesn't like to play the game". I told him good for him and the proceeded to barter over 5k off a new car (this was the mid 90's).
He felt he got a good deal, I knew I did.
I also saved 7k off my camper....and I'm sure for the deal I got some else walked in and paid sticker....I don't pay MSRP for most things, the value of the dollar is not strong and our state government thought I needed a pay cut by passing a minimum wage law pushing it to almost $15 bucks an hour. Economics....for some it is an impossible subject to get.
