CSI 513 hat durch Zufall etwas festgestellt (funzt leider bei den Preislisten 2014 und 2015 nicht mehr), was aber relativ transparent (und wohl nicht beabsichtigt) Kosten (Costs), minimalen Verkaufspreis (MAP) und empfohlenen Ladenpreis (Retail) darstellt.
Ich unterstelle, dass das Verhältnis auf aktuelle Preise übertragen werden kann (wobei im bepreisten Katalog ja nur MAP ausgewiesen wurde).
Hintergrund: Ich habe seit kurzem eine 513 Bekanntschaft im Libanon (besitzt eine 513 AP, Bj. 2013). Er hat sie bei Music Store Live gekauft (also in den USA) für etwas mehr als 4.200,00 USD. Der offizielle Retail-Preis liegt in dem Jahr bei über 7.000 USD.
Und: Don´t kill the messenger!!!
