My dad bought his Rocker C at Barnett HD in El Paso since most of the dealers in DFW marked them up and Barnett didn't. Since I'm working on the road and I'm only about a 12 hour drive from El Paso I contacted them and talked to a sales guy for several months and put a deposit down. I was second in line. First one came in and it sold. So when its time for them to order mine the sales guy tells me that they have decided to mark it up to $31,500 since it is limited production and this will be the only one that they will get. Keep in mind this is after several months of having discussions where it was always put out there that I would be paying MSRP. Played it cool and left my money there for a few days until I found another one, then I got my money back. I realize that this is a business and they are in it to make profit, but reputation can make or break you.
