There was an announcement of a price drop today. The price is now 1449.00. Now if we can just convince Outlaw to apply the 997 promotion ($200 off the 997 for any original 970/990 owners) to the 886. Many people who own the 990/970 are going to be looking for a new pre/pro and once they make that purchase they probably won't be buying for a little while at least. Applying the 990/970 original owners special might just be the thing to entice many people to buy. Besides, I think it would put it closer to what people are expecting to pay for the 997 ($1399.00 - $200.00 (original owner discount) = 1199.00 vs the $1449.00- $200 = 1249.00. Just a thought/suggestion though.
Why would Outlaw do that? I suspect their profit margin on the Onkyo isn't nearly as high as it is on Outlaw branded equipment. But (just to be devil's advocate) they are still charging $450 more than other online shops for the same unit...even with the new and improved pricing. And I'm sure those other places are making a profit, even at $999.
These are interesting times.
