Note: I am presuming an impersonal store moving inventory. I prefer to deal with individuals on a friendlier basis :) Sounds like a larger store. It's still pandemic time. If you really want it, forget about the Memorial Day. Doesn't matter. Go to the highest level person you see and say: I'll pay $1995 for that right now. They'll tell you it's impossible. Don't move one inch off your price. Talk to the manager, the manager's manager. Don't add one cent. When you are talking to the GM of the store, that's the first time you budge. If it's over $2500, say "I can't even start negotiating with you, because that's way too high." If it's under $2500, ask them "Is that the absolute 100% best you can do?" They'll probably lower it. Then and only then, offer to split the difference, and you'll get it for maybe $2100-$2200.
What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish
The amp is also a discontinued model which I believe should be further discounted. So how much off on a $3200 amp is the question? I called the dealer with a few questions. I asked if the amp would be on sale for Memorial Day since it’s a discontinued model. The girl said they didn’t do many sales on this brand (I know they do) Anyway, she looked and found an open box in warehouse. She knocked 12% off MSRP. Does that sound right? Or should there be more discount due to blemish? I think the later. I’ve always thought 10-12% off to be the norm discount on prime products.I know this isn't set in stone. But what is "normal" ? Whats your thought? Thanks for your input
