If the new keyboard is sold in the U.K. most of the top Technics dealers will mostly start of at a similar price and for instance if that price is £2,250 sterling then the buying price of the keyboard to the dealer will be somewhere around £1250 sterling.
I happen to have a Technics dealer price list from some years ago (KN2000 era), and the margins are VERY slim. Probably around no more than 350 pounds at best. Still have that price list somewhere, which is in Dutch guilders. Even if a dealer got bulk discount, it's all poor profit IMO. Surprises me they can make a living off of selling Technics. I know other brands such as Yamaha are quite cheaper to buy for a dealer.
