For those of you that have already contacted me (or were going to)
about getting in on the group purchase for Jan/Feb, I just found out
that Yamaha is raising the price on all their equipment 5%. e.g. DX7
will now retail for ~2100. Lets hear it for supply and demand and GREED!
If you were planning to get Yamaha Equipment,,,Call me now and make 
arangements before the first of the year as the prices we got on the 
last buy are only good until then. After 1/1/86 they ---->up!
 
	The group just did it's thing for Cornell Univ. with about
a 8-10k order. If you need something Yamaha,,,Dont wait...CALL!!!!

207.1		SAUTER::SAUTER		`Fri Dec 27 1985 07:02`	6
	It is probably due to the change in the exchange rate between the dollar and the yen. On the other hand, even if it was pure greed I wouldn't blame them. They make some fine products. John Sauter
207.2		WARLRD::LINCE		`Thu Jan 09 1986 00:12`	10
	I realize this is probably a bit dated but, if I may, just how much does a DX-7 end up costing ? In Atlanta, you can buy one for 1495.00, can you beat that ? If so, how can I purchase one from your group or whatever ? Thanks Jim
207.3		SAUTER::SAUTER		`Thu Jan 09 1986 09:48`	2
	I haven't seen it advertised for less than $1995. John Sauter
207.4	DX-7 low price	KIRK::BOYER	Rob Boyer - MAP Engineering - MLO5-2/E50 - DTN 223-5005	`Thu May 01 1986 12:42`	1
	Just picked one up on 6th ave in NYC for $1399.00.

	LaSalle's in Boston (ph. 617-536-0066) seems to have some good deals lately on Yamaha. DX7-S $1049.00 - $50.00 rebate = $ 999.00 DX7-IID $1525.00 - $75.00 rebate = $1450.00 DX7-IIFD $1725.00 -$100.00 rebate = $1625.00 SPX-90(II) $ 599.00 The rebates just about cover the Mass sales tax! The salesman was a little evasive on this, but I think these prices are only good until Dec. 31. -Rob
207.6	Who Needs Another Keyboard?	DRUMS::FEHSKENS		`Mon Dec 21 1987 11:07`	5
