wholesale cost of 580EX2?

[Marine03]

Does anyone work for a store, and know what the pricing is to a distributor? I like to shop at a store called ABT and they allow haggling. So I want to know how much reasonable room I have to work with before going in and wasting my time.

Would help if you posted where you were? different countries/locations would have different results...

Markup is on the order of 15%. Less at discount stores. There is little room to haggle, unless the store gets a big rebate based on total volume sales, and they need some more sales to meet their target volume.

Sometimes they may throw in a few freebies if you make a big dollar purchase.

FWIW, I can tell you in Hawaii it's in the mid to high $400 range.
