I agree with Ihasaguy, this topic is way to general. Some gear has good margin and some dealers are willing to give a decent discount. Others not so much, or pricing is policed heavily by manufacturers and their distributors.
High end audio is much like cars. Drive it off the lot they lose value unless the car is highly sought after. That being said, much like cars, in audio there are ways to work something out with dealers, such as better trade in values etc. if you can get them to discount the item for various reasons.
In my view, 10% on a used item that isn’t highly coveted seems a bit low, and at some point may make sense to just buy new to get full warranty.
