    My visit to the AD today















    What are my chances of getting 25% off or more from an AD on this model ?

    Look for a Jeweler AD .. and not a big mall AD .. and you may get a good 20 percent ... :) Try !

    25% off or more...buy it pre-owned. Doubtful an AD will discount that much.

    Maybe you should change your name to 'snowball'.

    A minimal discount perhaps. 25% off, would be very unlikely. You could always start negotiating from that point and see what disount the AD would be willing to offer, but with a requested saving that large the dealer might not take you too seriously.

    I would be a bit more conservative.

    He would get more satisfaction showing you the door and latter having a big chuckle with the boys in the office.

    The photos are not showing up for me. If it's solid gold or platinum you might get 20-25%, for others a more realistic goal is probably 10%.
    Strong discounts were more available a few years ago. Many jewelry stores have lost their AD status over the last 3 years.

    And the rest are always on the look-out for 'secret shoppers'.

    You can possibly swing 40% or higher if you trade in the Casio MUDMAN.

    True - that would depend on the professionalism of the AD!
