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!

If you're concerned how much you have to open your wallet-most of us, it's all about how YOU interact with a dealer. Your own skills at selling yourself as a person who deserves the better price.

That said, I've had some exposure to what actual cost of audio equipment is, and it's painful to imagine paying anything near MSRP. A dealer has a business to operate, so I get it.

Cash, as mentioned, helps in the negotiation  game.
