I'm not a dealer, but I can answer that with one word--NO--do any of you
work for a manufacturing company?  This is called proprietary information.

So...... 

Would the Rodgers and Allen dealers all be willing to show us their dealer
invoice the way you can get a automobile dealer cost from various sources?

----Original Message Follows---- Phil, I sell quite a few Rodgers organs to
homes of all sizes. Generally speaking a customer will provide me with what
he is looking for, 2 or 3 manuals, self-contained audio, external speakers,
etc. From there we begin to try to put the customer into what is available.
Ihave never withheld basic prices from a customer. Also, most all of my
customers are willing to say "I have this much or that much to spend".
Churches do somewhat the same. They tend to know what they are going to be
able to afford. Just as in buying a car, I know how much I can or how much I
am willing to spend before I ever start the process of looking. I don't
thinkthe majority of Rodgers dealers make this a mystery. Just ask. Al ---
