MAP Pricing. So Sweewater advertises the D18 for $2459. Guy negotiates for a "Deal" and his SW rep quotes him 2200. He goes to sell for 2k a year later. Meanwhile we at AGF get those D18s new for $1860 and so we suggest $1500, since they are only $1860 new, and they flip out saying it's impossible to find a new D18 for $1860.

Like BudHa mentioned above, frequently I see GC pricing used guitars higher than they can be purchased new from one of our AGF sponsors. The average joe GC customer has no idea so his whole idea of pricing is skewed.
