I'm sure you got the email this morning..... StewMac now offers select Seymour Duncan pickups at street prices. For those of us who are legit dealers.... will this be a problem?

Couldn't those pickups already be had online in many different places for end users?

Yes.... But it's just one more competitor for those of us in the repair game who are finding it harder to move product with all the heavy discounters out there. For the longest time, I had the lowest prices on Squeebay. Now I sell on Treeverb.

Chris looks like Stewmac is selling them for Retail not wholesale pricing.

I get them for wholesale - "Street prices" are not wholesale....

Some in the industry refer to it as MAP pricing - Minimum advertised price.

Map is what we must compete against..... Big onlineres will also throw free shipping in at MAP. I do not even try to sell P ups or any parts online, just too many people out there selling at margins way to low for me to make work. What I sell gets sold over the counter.
