- What sort of negotiating width is there in furniture prices at the
- mainline (Ethan Allen, Drexel, Thomasville, etc.) furniture stores?
- Assuming a list of $1000 and a "sale" price of $850 is there another
- 20% off the sale price ($170)? 50%?
-
- Also, are there end runs by ordering directly from the "warehouse" or
- home plant?
-
- And finally, of course, are there quality issues with particular brands?
-
- Thanks for the help.
