Sony_Fan Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I've noticed the RH1 is about $20 cheaper at Minidisco than it is at SonyStyle. Why? Is there a difference in what is being offered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 It's cheaper to operate a mailorder website than to pay rent/remodeling/staff/property tax/maintenance at a Sonystyle store. I'm sure that's what the extra $20 is for. Then again, minidisco may charge shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retailers have a hard enough time moving boxes without the manufacturer undercutting them on price, so you often see manufacturers sell for the recommended retail price (RRP, SRP...whatever), and no less. Obviously Sony realises that it's in their best interests to support their dealers, who are helping to push their products into the hands of mum & dad and little Billy...
