If this business runs like new car sales, the factory will send the store that sold the mattress a kickback. This allows the store manager to show you his price, which makes you feel good, since you are supposed to think that you are getting the best deal possible. The store then gets its profits from the factory. -Roger >>We purchased a Sealy mattress of the following type: >>2nd Century Plush Pillowtop, from Mattress Discounters. >>It was listed at $900, and the Manager of the store volunteered >>to sell it for $750, which he claimed as his cost price. >>He even showed me a listing of the manager's price, and >>declined my offer of $700. I had to buy it for $750, but >>there are 4 days before delivery. >> >>What do u think? Could he be cheating(with his cost price)? >>It is a firm mattress, pillow top, good quality - >>I am under the impression that I could have got it for around $600.
