Incoming!!!
So I had gone with my wife and daughter to the mall and had followed them around Nordstrom for a while. On the way out I persuaded them to wander into the AD to see what was there. Expectations were low as this dealer usually has an anemic selection. I was showing them several different references but didn't see anything that I was interested in. The sales lady heard me and pointed to a picture on the wall of a nice one. I said I'm sure you don't have that one in stock...but they did!

After a little negotiation....INCOMING!!!

Congrats....I am a bit surprised they were willing to negotiate on a BLNR.

I was able to get them to knock off the sales tax by saying I would check with their branch across the river in another state.

She initially tried to disuade me from doing that by telling me I should want to support my state by paying more tax!
