as an independant distributer of a consumable product I fully understand free enterprise. I also understand the process that a church goes through in order to purchase a new organ. because prices are not listed it causes an undo amount of conflict between church members and the music department. people now days don't expect to have to barter for an organ. the process of research and choice and approval took us three years. It would have been much easier if more information were easier to research. people don't have time to barter, or patience or money. the reason we chose the rodgers organ was it was in our price range, the sales rep was very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions, checked with us to be sure he understood what our issues were provided a truthful picture of our choices with rodgers and quoted us fair prices. the best part wasn't any "other" company bashing. in other words he showed us respect and allowed us to set perameters to work within. I believe the factory not publishing a recommended price schedule is the first step to making the customer wonder if the company and the dealer can be trusted.trust is a VERY big issue.

As you know there are dealers who almost give away the products and then there are those who get somewhere close to industry margins. Free Enterprise needs to prevail. Let the market work.
