Me too!

When I went to buy a new vehicle, I made up my mind that if the car salesman ask this one particular question I was leaving. The question was, and little lady what color would you prefer? I asked the salesman is the color going to make it run differently? I left 5 dealerships before I got a salesman to tell me the bottom line price and the reasons I should buy from his company. Sewing machine companies need to know with the internet available to most people that a good consumer will check out all the features on a new machine. Since we are spending our money, not theirs, putting costs on the website, even if it is a high and low costs would be to their advantage. I won't buy a new machine unless the price is stated on the product. We can start haggling from there if necessary.

I think they charge whatever the traffic will bear and it varies from one place to another. Irks me as I think there should be a standard, posted price.

We only have one dealer in town and it is a Viking dealer.
I have no patience with shopping and haggling. I want to get in and out fast. When I needed a new machine I went in and told him "I have $700 to spend and that's out the door price." Got a fine machine within a few minutes. Car dealers make me cry I get so frustrated. In the end - sewing, machines, cars, washing machines, etc. you are going to pay whay they want you to pay. The best make you think you have gotten a "good deal". |
I never ask prices on anything. I look at whatever and if there is no pricing I'm outta there. Have had them ask me can we help you? My answer, you could have had the things I was looking at been priced. Now it's to late, I will find somewhere they post their prices and then I'll buy.
Plus I'll be loyal to them in the furture. You can't believe the stunded faces as I leave, LOL. |

I finally told the lady if she couldn't tell me the price of that machine (finger pointed to it) then I was walking out. She just looked at me so I walked out. I bought a new Janome that had the price written right on the tag.

I agree.

Totally agree! Although with the event of Google and blogs, you can usually find the info if you're willing to do a lot of searching around.
