Poll: What did you pay your AD for a Planet Ocean?

He might deal differently with walk-ins than those who contact him via email first so I don't feel comfortable naming names, but I paid $2280 + $30 shipping out of state (fast!), to a NY dealer.

The two other prices from ADs I got were in the $2450 to $2700 range. (A fourth one told me he'd have to ask his manager if he could discount off list and I told him I didn't want to get him into trouble and don't bother.

I did not haggle one dealer against the other. Just asked for best price.

The lowest grey market price I saw was $2210, so I paid $70 above that.

I'm guessing my deal was a bit below average, since I took the time to shop, but I do not know.
