However sometimes the manufacture might offer an incentive to the dealer to 'run a demo' model - As such a lower trade price - Or indeed the dealer might propose such a policy on the odd product with the supplier/distributor
However I have also known it work that the supplier might do a show or two, then offer show stock to a dealer, as demo stock, at a preferential rate - ie stock for the big show in Birmingham in Feb - Every one tries the manufactures stock for 2 days and at the end of this, certain stock might be offered to a dealer reduced
Another example might be on say a product like a Helix - A dealer might run the same item on display for 6 months or a year, so keeps new boxed stock for sales at regular web site prices, therefore keeps the demo item as required - then when mk2 is released he then will sell on his demo model accordingly at a reduced price
No hard fast rule for any dealer/supplier on any brand/model
Hope that makes sense
The retailers usually just rolled the average across the cost price of all the units in stock so there usually wasn’t a cash incentive to take the floor model. Sometimes you could get extra free stuff instead though if you were “forced” to take it.
Not that this is relevant to guitars at all.
