InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I don't post here but I do have a mattress store. I'm in a completely different market but it's not like there's that much difference in price between the national chains and my single store. I'll be happy to give you some info. You're on the right track by lying down on mattresses and then looking at the price but don't spend that amount of money for that mattress. I have no idea what store you were at but a quick online search shows Us-mattress.com has the same mattress listed for 1800 and they're overpriced. If you're going to drop 2100 on a queen, buy a Tempurpedic Cloud Prima for 1999 and make sure you get the $300 in pillows and mattress protector. You're a guy who likes free money so take advantage of no interest option financing. edit: I had stopped reading at the above post and didn't realize you wanted a king. Still overpriced. PM or call me. This makes me so sad. I spent $2850 (incl. tax, delivery, etc) for a floor model treyford queen, the hybrid silver king, box springs and frames for both beds, the mattress protector for the king, and one tempurpedic dual cooling pillow. got five years financing at 0%. I'm not going back on the deal I made with the guy, but for the future, etc. I'm PMing you. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This makes me so sad.

I'm not going back on the deal I made with the guy, but for the future, etc. I'm PMing you. Don't be sad and here's why: Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Silver Plush King set =$2069 (not a terrible price for a truly excellent mattress) I don't know what the Treyford is without looking at the foam layering and coil but lets assume it's a mid-range Sealy PosturePedic Queen set since you mentioned the possibility of a $700 floor model in a previous post. A mid range Sealy Posturepedic would be $699-799 at my store. Often times a "floor model" is code for comfort return which means someone slept on it for up to however long the stores comfort return policy(30 days?) and then exchanged the mattress for a different model. This is a super shady practice and makes us all look like scumbags. You should assume this has been in someones home If the salesman said he has a floor model in the warehouse instead of actually sitting on his retail floor. A comfort exchange would demand a far larger discount than a floor model. Or, he may have sold you an entry level Sealy PosturePremier model since it's for a guest room which should retail in the $399-499 range. Anyway, Treyford Sealy Posturepedic(?) floor model=$700 Decent frames=$79 queen, $89 king Decent mattress protector (protect-a-bed or Tempurpedic hopefully)=$89 for the king Tempurpedic Queen dual cooling pillow =$199 (no joke, it's a two hundred dollar pillow) Delivery should be free but this salesman was doing his thing so I'm assuming he tacked on $29. Subtotal=3254 tax @7.25%=235.92 Grand total =$3489.92 This doesn't even take into account the interest free financing for 60 months equal pay which would cost me an absurd 16.39% on the total. Probably costs the retailer every bit of 10% if they're a national account so you killed it with these terms. my pricing assuming a Labor Day sale: your King set=1729 Queen entry level set=399 heavy duty king frame=89 heavy duty queen frame=79 king mattress protector=89 tempur pillow=199 free delivery 12 months no interest grand total assuming the same tax rate =$2771.34 You done good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 16.39% to finance? I literally offered to pay by check instead of financing, and he didn't budge. multiple places, I asked what they could do if I paid with cash instead of financing or using a credit card, and they just stared at me blankly. the best: guy offered me $3600 for similar mattresses + a nice couch. I get the deal in writing and tell him I'll be back later after I've scouted everywhere out to see what I want. his manager swoops in as I'm walking out and says, "what can I do for you?" I asked for $3400. he's like, "let me take your info down and we can see what's possible." fast forward 15 minutes, and he's now quoting me $3660. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't give a discount if someone offers to pay with cash/check vs a credit card since our CC processor uses total volume and average ticket price to determine the percentage taken. Napa could probably give details about the processors on the back end. I'd give a few points for cash/check vs financing though. Retail sales guys can be the worst. Edit: I mean the processor gives us an overall rate based on volume and avg ticket price. It's not recalculated per transaction. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 A friend came to town yesterday to go to a music festival today. But the music festival was moved to a nearby town because the venue had flooding this week. So we went out and had dinner at a bar and then we went downtown to the arcade bar and played games for awhile and then we went to the strip club where he was telling the strippers it was my birthday. Now I've got a lot of scratches on my back but it was a good time. Lot of fun. Oh, and he woke up hungover and decided to just go home rather than go to the festival. Gah! He missed TV on the Radio!?

iZuma 764 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Brv your so hip. Essay you need a hobby. Something constructive. Maybe whittling. Or graphic design. Maybe crochet. Something. There's a party across the road from me, through the woods like a half a mile. I can hear a bunch of yelling. In my younger days I would have wanted to go. Now, I just want to... still go, but I can't. I'm old. Such is life. At least I have potato. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I went to NYC this weekend, just a quick trip without a lot planned. I've been there numerous times, so I didn't feel the need to do touristy things. I decided to more or less wing it--I stayed in a nice hotel near St. Pat's. I'm happy I went, I walked around a ton, visited MOMA, went to coffee, then drinks with a slight acquaintance day trader. I'm happy I went, and Monday is looking like a m'fer to me. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Jesus, I don't even want to drive 3 hours over the weekend, never mind fly across the country. It has done nothing but rain here lately. Very little pool time, couldn't even finish mowing the lawn. Class 3 of 5 with the dog training. It seems to be all about walking the dog and that type of stuff. I'm sure they'll try to work us for more classes to work on other stuff. We'll see, but we won't do that. All we want is to get him comfortable around other dogs and this class doesn't cover that. Otherwise, I got nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The NYC trip was selfish, I work a lot, and then travel to the Midwest to see aging relatives. I don't know what I want to do for my next solo. I live in a big city, so I can go smaller. Maybe New Orleans or Santa Fe? While the day trader did buy my coffee, I'm pretty sure he would have gotten me a fountain drink, no prob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
