I just am unsure if it happens at like CVS or a furniture store or some other similar place.

These days discounts are unlikely as people have said but if you want it, go for it. Me personally wouldn't buy a Trek Billboard but if that is your bike go for it. Enjoy it, have fun on it. Pretty soon you will have forgotten about the cost and just remember the joy it brings you.
