I've bought a lot of stuff (mixer, MX-8 MIDI patch bay, TX-16W, etc.) from
Runzo's Music World in Dublin, CA.  They've always been very straight with
me, especially with prices. 

The experience I remember most was buying the MX-8 MIDI patch bay.  I talked
with Dean (one of the sales people).  This was right after the MX-8 came out,
and most places were still asking list ($399) for it.  Dean said that the 
price was $300, and he'd sell it to me for $250.  Then later he called me at
work and told me that he had accidentally quoted me HIS price for it, and 
that the list price was $399.  However, he did stick by his original $250
quote.  When the first MX-8 had a bad rom chip, I took it back in and he
gave me the other one in the store, without any hassle at all (the second
one worked just fine).  

Just for reference, the address is

Runzo's Music World
7017 Village Parkway
Dublin, CA 94568
(415) 829-4333

I've dealt with several other sales persons there, and all have been as
honest and easy to deal with as Dean was.
