I very strongly doubt that. I expect it to be closer to 40% unless there is a special deal.
When I am in the market, I check patternreview.com to see what others are paying for the same machine. That gives me a range. Often times, I can also find the MSRP for a machine online and then I decide what it is worth to me. Not crazy about haggling but I WILL on sewing machines.
