New offrerings and MSRP

I agree with Unsound. What I paid doesn't determine market value. Some dealers just won't discount. So if the used market is at 70% of MSRP on a piece that is popular, and I got a good deal at 20% off MSRP, should I take 50% to assure I lose as much as the average seller? I am happy if I get 10% off, but more important is do I get 100% service if I need it.

Fair pricing is always(?!) 80% of MSRP and should(?!) be assumed that was paid in considering selling prices in the used market?

I think the msrp is announced and remains the same regardless of reviews.The cost of manufacturing doesn't change based upon opinions, nor does the profit margin required to stay in business. I don't believe that Ayre has ever produced a bad product. I doubt they will now. And I think if sales lagged due to negative press, dealers would loosen in store profit margins to sell off stock. Lack of demand would lead to either revisions or elimination from product line up.

From my experience with a new company or little known companies, as soon as a great review comes out, the price goes up, even doubles.
For well established companies, not nearly as much.
