How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?

I'm not interested at this time going used. No stock in my area, I'll have to order or go out of town. McIntosh has a pretty tight grip on their dealers, so I imagine not finding any here on AG. Just curious what to expect when making an offer. I'm not going to pay full retail. Ideas, thoughts? I'm not interested in other brands or amp ideas. I'm just researching Macintosh at this point in time.

Total BS. I can go to my local Mac Dealer 10 minutes away and get at least 20% off any gear I want. I always got 20% off at OVERTURE in Delaware on all my previous Mac gear (452, C52 etc)...and No sales tax to boot. No other products were purchased at the time.

If I was willing to make the haul to a dealer in Tenn (9-10hours each way) I am guaranteed 30% off MSRP

Cash Flow is the key words here, if you are willing to look for deal, you will get a deal, of course you have to be reasonable, but 20% is reasonable for McIntosh :)

I called OVERTURE and ask for 20% amp and pre-amp and they blow me off :(

Yeah, akdm  I think OVERTURE can kiss that franchise goodbye! What I wonder is: what motivated any Mac dealer to take 20% off within the first 20 minutes.  I worked in some of the biggest Mac dealers in the country and know that NO retailer does that just because there's that much extra profit. 
Maybe hire a stripper to go in with you to sweeten the deal?
