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

Wow! I don't know whether to take most of these seriously. Then too, I tend to think that some offers are an insult which seems to go against the grain here too. 

FWIW the amp is a S'phile class A. I can't imagine them giving 40% off. I was thinking maybe half that. But I haven't bought new in a while. Thanks

This is a very poor question.  We do not know the blem or what the product is.  Ask a poor question and get a poor answer.

35-40% off what is the blemish?  35-40% off really what business do you won that gives that much off?  Maybe up to 25% off depending on the blemish.

The dealer should pay you to take it.
