Wholesale prices


I have a friend who is an authorized Kef dealer.

I am interested in the Kef Blades 1 and he said he could get me a pair, new sealed,  for about 14 grand.
Does this sound about right for dealer price?

He is a vp  for a nationally  known  audio manufacturer.

You can get a used pair of II's right now .

If you like the color, I'd counteroffer 11K w/shipping.

That price for a first generation, even though they're sealed isn't anything to get excited about IMO. They're not the latest iteration. You have a LOT of choice for that amount of money.

$11-12K maybe, if I just had to have the Kef Blade. 

What are they worth to you and your wallet? $14k is not a deal. Lots of excellent choices in that price range. 
Dealer discount is 50% off their Demo Gear and 40% off everything else for most brands (JasonBourne is dead wrong).  Discount is FAR greater on stuff like Cables.  That price for the KEF's is NOT a good deal at all. Its OLD Inventory they cant get rid of. You should get at least 40% off MSRP if not 50. You would be doing them a favor taking it off their hands.
