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

Recognizing that 40% off is likely to be dealer cost, you got to be reasonable as the dealer is entitled to eat too. 
The blemish is relevant. Is it something the dealer is willing to replace. Ie- a marred faceplate where the dealer could get a new one from the factory? 
Instead of asking for a discount make an affirmative offer of a specific dollar amount.
