Well, my ebay auction didn't work out, unfortunately. I may just go the truck route, what's a decent truck price for it?

Quite a few on ebay; just "buy it now"...

Currently shipping version is the "B"; rubber grip... i'm sure other improvements... @ $359...

Looks like you can get the same unit; for $100 less or so... on ebay...

the PH3050A and B are identical, the B just has the quick release installed where the A had it loose in the box. Currently the Bs are getting a premium on ebay because its the newest iteration, drawing out the clueless. PH3050A use to go new for 200-250 all day on ebay (tool only not the kit). Probably still do.
Whether or not you can get a deal cut is very much YMMV. Far from all of them do it, and generally its only for long time loyal customers and even then it might be 10-15% off list. Off the street you'd probably save sales tax if you had cash in hand. Considering the thing is $360 off the truck and they can be found for $100 less off ebay, and since its an air tool with a 2yr warranty as opposed to lifetime like hand tools, just go ebay.
I've already tried the EBay route, it didn't work out. I was trying to see what people were paying off the truck, since I'm under the impression that the drivers usually haggle with people vs list price.

Your under the wrong impression.

As the others said, normally I don't haggle with my dealer, I wait for him to offer me deals on items I buy, and I thank him when he does.
I didn't start getting discounts on items until I had become established and spent a good deal with him, and I only get a discount once every month or two.
The main way he tries to help me out, is by taking down a written list of items that I'm interested in, and then matching that up with upcoming sales, he has done very well for me in that area.
Guy at work just got one with a free chuck and also free punch and chisel set. Paid 305 he said. Its a promo they were doing and mite still be
Just checked, nope. I did get a decent price on a few punches/chisels, the boot, and the universal air swivel. A member here offered me his for a good price, so good I couldn't refuse. Thanks for all the help guys!
