[] In response to your gory stories about audio dealers, let me
   just re-affirm dealers are damn leeches.
 
   A 50% markup is standard practice.  The best way to cut this is
   not to shop around store to store, working one guy against the
   other, but instead to find a good place and stick to it.  Get to
   know the manager, or, better yet, the owner.  Working with one
   company over time does so much more good for you both than the
   endless searching & price grubbing common in new-car shopping.
