If a store is willing to pricematch, then you should consider yourself lucky and have some assurance of getting a decent price.

I hate "call for price" but I understand it.
I agree that they should be able to set their own pricing but wouldn't you be angered if you bought the item for $800 while others are getting it for $600 from the exact same seller. That is just shady business.

I recently PM **********s for a quote on a set of VMR wheels. They were way overpriced compared to other dealers. Long story short, I ended up purchasing them from Pyspeed.
