Question about Druids

Is there anyone out who negotiated a price on their Zu speakers? I was unaware of the "fact" that the price could be negotiated until Jjimali said so. Can someone verify that?

Putting aside the latest Zu rumor about discounting, I have to admit that I have wondered the same thing that Ozzy62 is asking. Why take a big hit on near new speakers when Zu makes such a point about their generous trial period? If the option to return them for a full refund exists, why on earth would anybody sell them at a big loss? It makes me wonder about the advertiser's claims. I couldn't wait to get mine broken in and I did so in much less time than Zu alots. But, if the seller in question took 6 months or a year to break his speakers in, that would answer all our questions.
I'll repeat the other question, "Is there anyone out there who received a discount from Zu by negotiating the price?".

I think this must be the ad that provoked this thread. I also think that Ozzy62 asks a valid question and that the comment about discounts (which might be true for all I know) remains unsubstantiated.

Only the seller knows his real reason for taking such a hit.....maybe one of us should ask him. I'll do it.
