So my wife and I went to the Brick mattress store today at the brick and we saw a king size we liked. It's sticker was $2399 but on sale for $1799. I tried to talk the guy down but he was not having any of it - he claimed when they are on sale the crazy markup is reduced down close to cost so there is no wiggle room.
Is this a case of the sticker cost being inflated so the sale price looks amazing OR is he an honest salesman?
The mattress was a Sealy Titanium Perfomance DS - if that means anything to anyone.
