Trying to work an AD for a discount is like pulling teeth from a Grizzly bear. Stick I buying one from a trusted seller here. Save yourself the time and money.

Our local grizzly is loose in the tooth, as I have had four successful purchases at meaningful discounts.

No issues with my AD either. I always get taken care of.

My AD is the only one within a 150 mile radius. He will deal and ship out of state.

I equate that to a 27% discount.

It may be very different from AD to AD and areas. There are 3 ADs here and none of them have given discounts even after multiple purchases. I'd recommend checking out the for sale section here though and you may be in luck.

PM me kabayan. I can get you discount from my AD, and if you're in a different state, no sales tax.
