Dealer Discount


Hi all. Just curious - how much is a "reasonable" discount to expect from a local dealer on new, low mid-level audio equipment (say amp in $2500 range or turntable around $1500)? I'm a bit surprised that most, in my area, offer no more than 10% with some refusing to discount at all.

Look forward to your thoughts. Thanks!

Depends - Is this a one off purchase?  Have you purchased from them before?  Will you purchase from the dealer again?  Given all that 10% to 20% is likely the best one can ask for. 

It also depends on how much product the dealer pushes out the door.  If there are a bunch of high end clients paying full prices, then they can afford to work with you.  I know dealers don't like folks that try to banter over prices like they are bargaining for bongos in Tijuana.
