My salesman called me, and we talked about it.
NOTE: People commenting that this mic is too cheap to worry about price matching, or that free shipping is not really a big deal... Ok, back to work retail music gear company employees. (haha, JK. But seriously, it's the principle. You don't speak up when a nickel here or there pops up and suddenly it's a dime... but what's dime?? Am I right?... Well, to a company with a $1.5 billion annual gross... it COULD be a lot more than you realize),
THANKS FOR WATCHING!-MARTY
FROM THE PREVIOUS VIDEO:
You must have noticed Sweetwater has quietly been adding shipping to some items... setting minimum purchase amounts to get free shipping... quietly changing what was once totally rock solid no question about it FREE?
I did a vid about being sold fake SM57's and somebody commented that it might be interesting to compare the Behringer SL 75c (their 57 "clone" ) to both the fake and A real sm57. I agreed and went looking to buy the B 57... which lead me to discover that currently Sweetwater WILL NOT price match Guitar Center's advertised price... which is well... weird. Unheard of!
What's going on? I toss an opinion or two out... but not discussed is the possibility maybe GC is actually blowing out their stock of Behringer stuff too, Like Sweetwater recently did?
Whatever it is, it is NOT NORMAL. But it sure is interesting.. and I think ultimately will lead to a more competitive marketplace for consumers.
THANKS for watching, feel free to leave a comment if you got something to say!
