I've seen the dealer mentality like this many times over. In their eyes, they're doing us a favor by allowing us to buy their parts, shirts, scooters and everything else

 

You are more understanding than I am. Treat me without courtesy and respect once, and you'll never see me again. I only make it to a Harley dealer once or twice a year. I wouldn't spend a nickel at one where I was treated badly.

 

i would have handed it back to him and said thanks but no thanks.

lots of dealers, lots of places to spend $$

 

I'd a walked

 

Was in Rossmyers last year and saw a box of soft detailing cloths marked at 159.50.
They list for 15.95

Soooo?

 

The plot thickens!!

 

Exactly right.

A price sticker isn't legally binding (ie, someone accidentally drops a zero on a hang tag doesn't mean you're buying a new HD for $2k), but for $5 bucks? That's just bad business, right there.

 

I was referring tithe OP's situation, but if paying $160 for a $16 item makes you happy, who am I to judge?

 

I'm wondering what the part was?
What the actual cost was?
Did you buy it?
Will you be going back there?

 

Maybe it's the restocking fee - you know, they have to restock the shelf it came off of...
