The 21st century has become so rapetastically bad. Everyone is so fkin greedy. Just deal with companies that are willing to deal. Those discounts are faker than wooden nickels.

A lot of it has to do with the recent prevalence of online discount retailers and vendors on the forums who blow out product for razor thin margins.. Shops have to try and compete with those prices, when a bunch of guys are selling parts for dirt cheap online everyone has to cut their prices and just accept a smaller margin and make it up somewhere else. Less room for negotiating. Back in the day when everyone had a 40% profit it was a lot different
