Quote:So off i go to the shop. Highland came highly recommended. He set me up with a Kenwood MP235 (new this year) and Fusion 572 speakers for the doors. The harness and dash insert. This came to 450.00 tax in, installed. He also told me not to bother with the amp for the doors cause i wont need for my purposes. Im ok with that i guess. I did tell him I was on a budget.

Heres my dilemma, I got searching on the net... I found that deck for like no more than a 100USD avg price and as low as 80CAD. I found the speakers for like from 60 to 100CAD. This is all internet pricing and does not include shipping or potential taxes and dutys.

I have no problem with markups. I guess im just really uneducated. Am i overreacting?? Should i get a refund (i paid for the stuff but no install till monday.

Any advice?

I have so many customers buying stuff online only to find out the deck is used or parts are missing. They have a problem and they must pay shipping to get it back, then 3 months for warranty and so on. It's always your call but buyer beware. Ebay is a joke! basing the price on that, most of it's been in somebodies car before.

When you buy online, where do you go for help and advice? I sell a customer and he wants to do the install himself I'll help him as much as I can for free, he buys online I charge $60.00 p/h for advice.

Typical install $100 labour, $20 for the kit and $15 for the harness.
