I got mine two summers ago and it is a beautiful piece of work. I'm lucky enough to live close to them so I just drove up and they fitted the new top to my car and kept the old one for core charge.
I bought Melrose at the advice of Vette2Vette.

Melrose makes a sweet top, very high quality, just stay away from Astro tops. 2 guys in our club have had them fall apart..WW

I compared Melrose and Astro Top side by side at Corvettes @ Carlisle a couple of years back, and the quality of the Melrose is head & shoulders above Astro. I even purchased one that day and had them install it for me, it's fit and finish was the equal to, if not better then GM's was. It is still on the car and looking "as new" years later with the new owner.

Melrose is a great place to deal with..

I have seen several tops from melrose. They look GREAT. The only downside I have heard is a few people have had theirs trashed by UPS in transit. I was going to try to plan a road trip up there to pick one up in person. Great Tops!

I just emailed them today for a price. Mine was vandalized and I'm ready to replace it. Does anyone know what they retail for?

I'm not too far away, so I may just drive there and pick it up. You say they sell to us "wholesale". Does that mean I need to mention the forums to get a better price?
