I agree. The best way is to go to a quilt show where many dealers will be bring the new DSM out of the box and then they are discounted because they are not new anymore. They normally make good deals near the end of the show so they don't have to bring them back to their store. Same way with cars. Since they are all new freshly open boxes, that is where I bought mine. If you buy it from Amazon, don't expect to have much courtesy from your local dealer like any assistance with learning how to use your new DSM. Same model number, same DSM.
