Bruce, You took what I stated out of context and totally overlooked where I supported Colliers when I was in Fayetteville, and Thompson's in Knoxville. The MSRP is an inflated figure whether it is a Jeep or a Pentax camera.

I'm sure you payed MSRP for the vehicle you drive or the camera you use. I bet you drive a Kia that you payed 10% above msrp on.

Edit: I have never asked a local store to sell something at a loss. If they "have" to sell at or above msrp, they are already in trouble.
