When I had my stereo store in the 90's I paid 40 - 60% off of retail. It depended on the manufacturer, how flexible they where and how much the total order was. I always paid the shipping cost.

$11.2k for the least expensive Gryphon integrated for ten years wouldn't be so bad if acceptable financing was available.
Another point. In New York City many live without a car, so they can spend some on good equipment. The same in Tokyo and other cities.
I heard that what dealers pay varies wildly, it's not always 40%-60%.

10X more expensive amp can be 100x times better, you can't generalize. The cables.. I have $100 RCA cables and $1300 RCA cables. The latter is incomparably better, though the former is quite good. I don't know how to apply straightforward mathematics here.

I'm not sure how the availability of financing and the calculation of value are related, or even what "acceptable financing" even means. In any event, if you have good credit, you can finance anything.

In New York City many live without a car, so they can spend some on good equipment.
In NYC, a car is as much a nuisance as an asset. And typically, the high cost of housing offsets the savings gained by not needing to own a car.
