Quoted from nicoy3k:I see major distributors jack up their prices once a game is in high demand and their inventory is low. Isn’t there typically some agreement against doing this? It does nothing but hurt Stern.
Stern keeps raising there prices also so it may be Sterns doing not distributor. Plus if Stern finds out that a distributor is charging less then there minimum they have threatened to cut off the distributor. Most distributors will come down a few hundred if you ask but some list at there bottom price right off the bat. Call around to get lowest price then call Automated and tell them you found it cheaper and they will match it and have it to you in 2-3 days if its in there stock or Sterns stock is my method.
