Do Dealers think it is sinful..........

..... to give a customer a break on the price of high end audio equipment? is there something ethically wrong with this? why is it that i can negotiate down the price of a car or real estate many thousands of dollars, but i cant even get a discount on something the dealer (1) doesnt stock, (2) will not let you bring home for a day. i feel that when you are spending big $, like 8k + on a sale there should be some give and take. what do you think?

I don't understand why you think Kendall43 is lying. I don't live in New York but in the western part of the U.S.A. I have been able to find virtually any new high end audio product in which I've expressed an interest offered for 25% off retail. I do know that one of the retailers with whom I deal most often has a lot of customers on the East Coast. Perhaps I now understand why this is so.

3chihuahuas: Send me your "want list" and I'll see if I can get you a discount. I can absolutely assure you that, should any of your goodies be available where I shop, you'll get way more than 6% off. In fact, the 6% you get from your "salesman" is pathetic, even embarassing. It wouldn't even cover sales tax where I live. BTW, I am not an audio dealer. If you email me your "wants," you should be able to afford to buy with credit card or cash immediately. Otherwise, please don't bother. rosebud_2884@hotmail.com.
