And the OP would be very wise not to advertise to the dealer that
he must have
their brand. There closes the snare. Being able to say you want X
competitive model
that they don't carry is a crucial lever. Let the dealer slag it.
He usually will. Say nothing. Never tell them what you have
budgeted to spend. Then say "But the price you have given me is
beyond my means. And the better (unspecified) deal offered me is
for cash. I'd love to buy all my scopes and supplies from you.
What can you do?" Just some thoughts.

In this case, as I think with most brands, there are no dealers any
longer. About two years ago, Olympus cancelled all dealers and now
handle sales through their regional offices.

Poor me no longer works. The trick is to choose wisely what you need
and what you would like to have.
