emperessally

I am super new to quilting and sewing in general.
I am pretty sure that I got schnookered by the dealer on my first sewing machine but by gones and learning lessons etc.

However, I am looking into buying a new longarm machine and dealer is offering 1K off.
For a 20K ish machine this doesn’t really sound that great to me?

Are my expectations off?
I am not looking for basement bargain prices but also don’t want to feel cheated again.

Any hints on what is a normal % off would be helpful!

Thanks!
