New guitar?

I've just accidentally started trying to haggle down the price of a sexy new guitar (http://pictures.kyozou.com/pictures/_7/6010/6009019.jpg) that I'm hoping to get from a shop just up the road near Gloucester.

This place has it for around £430, other online stores have it £495. I already thought I was getting a bargain.

However, local shop doesn't have it in stock at the moment...so out of curiosity/boredom I emailed the £495 ones and said "could you beat this other shop?" not really expecting anything.

£495 shop says "ok, how's about £399 delivered"

Well, I'm torn now between the desire to try and buy from a small local dealer (something I believe is especially important considering the current economic climate*) and the desire to save myself enough money for a really nice bottle of whisky.

So, I emailed the £430 one saying "well, this other place will do it for £399 now...what do you reckon?"

They've said they'll see what they can do...

I feel a bit bad now, £430 isn't a bad price and the bloke in the shop seemed really nice......I bet he has little hungry children, and gives a chunk of his profits to a donkey sanctuary and because of my desire to save money they're all going to starve to death.............I'm going to hell.

Ah sod it there's no such place, and if they match the cheaper price I'll probably spend that money on strings/picks/a cable/a new capo in his shop anyway............so everyone's a winner
