Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer


Many a times, you talk with a dealer and they order and deliver the product. So you spend 10k on a pair of speakers. Seems very simple to do by a high end dealer. And most often done without an Instore  visit.
So how much are they making?

When I sold Audio in the 70's and early 80's, the margin on speakers was anywhere between 40 and 55%  The speakers that came in at 40% were usually the lower priced speakers that were brand names but built on a tight margin.  The more expensive speakers usually came with a higher margin.  This applied to speakers only.  Margins on electronics peaked at about 40%
Everybody got to make money after all dealers must put up with many tire kickers.
@ebm ,
Well put!

As a gardener, I have to put up with this kind of 'logic'- I don't see the value in your service, so why should I pay for it?

If you are so concerned about what a dealer is making, then just buy your equipment used.
