Wilson Audio. Gray market?


A local guy has told me he can get me a pair of new Wilson Audio Sabrina speakers for $3,000 off MSRP.  He is not an authorized dealer, but he tells me he will be buying them from "an authorized US dealer" and will come with "a full warranty".

Looking at the Wilson warranty information on their website, it clearly says the warranty will be limited to 90 days if either (1) the warranty registration isn't returned within 30 days of delivery or (2) the speakers are not "professionally installed by the Wilson Audio dealer that sold the product to the customer."

My guy says once I have the serial numbers, I can call Wilson and they will confirm the full warranty.

He also wants me to pay him up front.

Sounds too good to be true, yes?

I would tell him to put you in contact with the dealer and you will not haggle. If he's making something off the top, which I'm sure he is, then let him make it. 

Huge discounts on high end audio shouldn't make you nervous. The margins are huge.
