so theres this website called greentoe and APPARENTLY you can name your price on new pedals and guitars and such. seems as if they do mostly photo but they have earthquaker and boss.

so, yes. that is a thing.

With the dollar as it is, I can't imagine it's too much of a savings for Canadians. But it looks cool!

More and more sites are encouraging buyer-negotiated offers. It's a simple way for dealers to get around list price restrictions and to increase sales. Here's a few places to check out, if you haven't already.

oh shit. this is cool

You can pretty much always get 10% off at Musicians Friend for any item over $99. Just call and ask. I even got 20% off the pre order Moog Sub 37 due my silver tongue (and because they messed up a few previous orders). You can usually negotiate deals at Sweetwater too. Don't be shy folks. Just ask.

Oh, you can negotiate mattresses too if you need a new one.

pro audio star is kinda weird. but yeah, they'll make deals.

Sweetwater has made deals whenever I've asked and sometimes even when I didn't.

The Mattress thing is very very true,
When I worked in Mattress sales we were authorized to cut of 10% just if someone asked
and could go deeper to lock down sales

I sometimes very much regret not bartering more when I buy things

I feel so weird bartering though for new items. I've heard a lot of stories about Perfect Circuit Audio being absolutely awesome about this (and I think a couple about Detroit Modular as well but don't quote me on it), but yea it's a strange feeling and I don't know how to go about it.

I mean if Perfect Circuit can make this modular crack rock a little cheaper I might have to stop being awkward about it.

I got like 30% on two new pedals from Perfect Circuit just by asking. Not very expensive ones either. Great company to deal with.
