Suggested retail is just that so it does not surprise me or offend me.
Dealers are force fed good and bad titles so for instance wwele was a dud and they still had to buy the allotment.
Iron Maiden Le is a sought after pin and they can charge full boat or better.

Now that being said, if you buy normally form a dealer and the jack you up...go to another dealer.
Seems all are towing the line on retail from Stern/AP these days.
Once the market cools wheeling and dealing will return.
I believe its just a sign of a strong Pinball economy.
