  2. Items must be in stock and ready for immediate shipment.
  3. The price must be VERIFIABLE. In other words, if we are price matching a retail location we need to be able to call and verify stock, price, model year, etc. So if no one answers the phone then we can't match their price. (And by the way, we do actually call.) If we're price matching a website the price, photo, stock, model year, etc must be clearly displayed.
  4. Price matching is not done on top of any current sale, there's no combining discounts
  5. Price matching is done only on new items.
  6. Price match is available for manufacturer-authorized dealers only. Authorized dealers are listed on the manufacturer's website. There are many websites out there that are just individuals selling random stuff out of their garages on the side. We're not going to compete with them. Do business with them at your own risk.
  7. We only price match with business located in the US.
  8. Some items may not be eligible for price match due to manufacturer pricing requirements.
  9. We cannot match a price that is below our cost.
  10. Our Price Match Policy is subject to change at any time.
