Does anyone know what GW's 3rd party/FLGS Trade discount is these days?

[Xenith]

As per the title, does anyone have an up to date idea f what a local FLGS buys their GW stock at? I know it used to be about 50%, then I think it may have gone up to 55% RRP, however I do know some other publishers like FFG used to get 25%. What % rrp would a local store be paying in 2026?

 

Thanks!

Trade pricing/discounts usually vary based on volume of orders/total of individual order, product lines taken and specific offers, along with plenty of other factors. Essentially what one trade customer tells you applies only to them, as it will vary significantly across the market. 

Generally, the price that trade customers pay isn't usually expressed as a percentage of the RRP either. Retailers will usually express a margin percentage, that they make over the trade price of a product upon sale. This is because it is not always legal to set an RRP/MSRP/RRP.  For example, a retailer may say, "we get 25%" and they will in fact be referring to the fact they mark up the retail price by 25% over the amount they paid for that item. To further confuse this, another customer may say "we get 12% discount" and they will be referring to the fact they get a 12% off the listed trade price for a certain product line. Sometimes the amount of discount you get in this manner is dynamic, based on the quantity of a certain line, or quantity of a certain selection of linked lines, that a customer buys. 

TLDR: No. It is unlikely that any trade customer will tell you what they pay for products.
