Until EAA got wind of it.
You know as well as I do they would want THEIR cut of any payment for
services.
Then of course there are the other aviation businesses based on the
field that would complain about the gypsy mechanics/techs taking THEIR
business.

They probably meant dealers do have specials, but nobody installs
anything.

For example, most large motorcycle rallies (like Americade in New York -- a
rough parallel to OSH for aircraft) offer similar savings on accessories
(they even have GPS, just like we do) -- but, most importantly, they offer
to install the stuff ON THE SPOT.
I've often wondered why some enterprising young avionics tech doesn't take
this to heart, and offer a "mobile installation" option. They could drive
their van out to your plane in the North 40, and install your new toys, for
a fee.
I'll bet they would clean up.
