McIntosh dealer discount ?


I’m about to retire my McIntosh preamp after 35 years. I’m looking at the current C22 And do not want to buy anything used. I know this is an older discussion, but Are there any dealers out there that will discount new purchases? Thanks

  Retail price control is still happening. I’m not a McIntosh owner , but I did notice that a brick and mortar store was featuring a large stock of new and used McIntosh gear. I happened to check the manufacturer web site for authorized dealers and this particular store was not listed. I have in the past intentionally purchased gray market items. They are new and sealed items, but carry no warranty. So be aware to check on your dealer. I have also received discounts from authorized dealers by politely asking if they offered a discount. The least I received was a 10% discount and free shipping. Happy Shopping , Mike B.  

You don't ask....you dont gets....as the saying goes.

My take is dont talk price with a dealer unless you are ready to buy.

 

 

I imagine one way to give a discount on a price controlled item would be to give an inflated trade in credit.
