> I have seen very large ent customers get 80% discount on hardware - it’s mind boggling that the vendor is not going bankrupt.

Yes exactly. When I see what we pay for stuff at work...

Obviously the vendors don't have 80+% margins. So what do they do? Inflate the RRP to compensate. So they can give a huge discount that sounds good on paper.

But this makes it unviable to buy for consumers that do have to pay RRP.
