What is the average dealer mark up?


What is an "average" mark up on quality or high end audio gear? I realize that there are many manufacturers who force dealers to hold this tight and not disclose, but surely without naming specific manufacturers there are some here that do in fact know the mark up.

Let the fun begin!

To the offended and bashers of this thread.

 Disclosure of this type of material is not such a bad thing. It helps customers appreciate that their local boutique dealer is most likely not getting rich off of your $3000.00 speaker purchase. It might make some not want to beat them up on price everytime they buy a piece of gear. 

How many demos have you done in store, at home?  Sought advice then bought elsewhere on line or even  used gear. It's all time and takes away from the stores bottom line. 

Now that the secret is out... Be kind to your local dealer.  

That could be the result of a thread like this.
