sometimes there are prices that are set by the bosses for what can be bought without putting in for budget approval.
For instance they have a credit card that they are authorised for charges up to $4800, but anything over $4800 has to go through budget approval, that could take up to a year to get.
Ask questions why they need it and then you can negotiate. If this is the case then ask them if you can charge them $4800 for the device and invoice them $300 separately for delivery or something like that.
