My experience this past month:
Wanted a new surround sound experience.
Local dealer was having a garage sale.
Went, nearly first person in line.
Inside Receiver Denon 4806 Demo 1/2 price $1,500.
Snatched that up first thing.
Then came back and looked at speakers..
Got some Canton still in boxes CD300 two pair for total of $1,400. retail of $4,000. and three Center channel CD360F for $600. total, retail $2,400. And a refund via thirty day policy from the Denon DVD-5910 I bought just a few weeks before from them of an additional $500.
So, by not having to get one particular brand, (though I was after a Denon receiver) I save 60% new, from a LOCAL retail dealer.
This was the best new stuff deal I ever got.
So remember, If you have to have specific items, the dealer may not be willing to deal, but if you know the stuff, and can wait for deals to show themselves, you can get some pretty good stuff at killer prices.
