The very slim minority of players who know there is room to negotiate and also have the will to negotiate on a new guitar have an opportunity to land a better deal than most people looking for a Martin guitar. Nothing wrong with that, just not what I like. Tell someone who received 25% off a new D28 that you bought one the same day for 40% off and see how they feel.
I understand the sentiment but it really is not that hard to do a little research. a simple Google search asking "how to get the best price on a Martin guitar" reveals some possible savings, including a link to a thread on this forum.

wheather it is a guitar, a car, or an appliance, or even a home it pays to become an educated consumer.
