[ICOM] IC-7000 Price at HAMCOM hamfest?

[Peter Markavage]

Only at HRO and AES. They probably always try to under cut all the
smaller dealers there and any other hamfest they set up shop.  My
suspicion is that Icom gives those two a "better" dealer price because of
their multi-store selling power. Sell a few points above cost with the
anticipation that the customer will return (i.e. you got a great price)
and buy accessories at regular prices or higher, and also tell all your
friends about the great deal X store gave over all the other dealers. Of
course, if one steps back to look at the bigger picture, there are
tradeoffs when dealing with those types of organizations.
