look what i found here http://www.audiounion.jp/buy/04.html

you can use altavista translation service to reach this site.
after that go to "Negotiation information" and you will see "Above-mentioned negotiation price is special large amount assessment just during period."

after that go to CD section.

so look at those prices (100,000 yen is 526GBP).

well, my beloved Meridian 588 after transportation to faraway Japan still costs 788 pounds to the dealer

if you wan to be fair - you have to add VAT.
but even if we do so it's still 922 pounds.
but if you wan to be fair - be really fair and deduct shipping costs before that.

look at other prices and you will get an idea what is dealer's margin is.

interesting, isn't it?
