Many factories give a discount to the retailer for the display model only.
One reason is to help the dealer burn it off when the styles change. So,
the "real price" for a new unit may be quite a bit more. Due to price and
distribution controls, many items for sale on eBay are actually being
re-sold, so you may not be getting a warranty. Also, like other big ticket
items you may require minor service, whether for a surface blemish,
adjustment on a burner, etc. When you buy from the internet, you usually
give up all of that. Service costs money too, maybe even in your business.
