Wondering what true dealer 'cost' is, so that I can make an intelligent 'offer' to an authorized Yamaha dealer. To me, I would entertain this board at about $2500 to $2800 price point. I would never pay $3800 for it, under any conditions.
I am aware of all the 'arguments' about what dealers have to put up with in terms of overhead, and how their 'net' profit is so much less because of all their expenses.
My answer to that is simple. NO ONE at the dealer will ever lay eyes on me, spend time with me, demo the board, sell me on the quality, features, benefits, yada yada yada.
To me, it's a commodity, something I can buy anywhere. Someone will simply take my order info and credit card, and arrange to have it shipped to me, thank you very much.
AFTER SALE SERVICE if any will be all Yamaha, not the dealer. So why pay a huge profit to someone who's providing me nothing more than a pipeline to take my order?
Ok, throw in the hot item and everyone wants it, and limited allocation, yada yada.
I can WAIT until it's not that hot any more, or someone might notice there's a pretty big recession/depression (choose your semantics) going on in the USA... so what's a really GREAT price on this and where can I order it?
Thanks for any responses. Please don't flame, I'm a very limited resources musician with NO rich relatives helping!
Cheers.

You won;t get a T3 at those prices. Minimum if you find a hungry dealer would be $3200. You can still buy a new T2 for $2500 though.
One just went on Ebay for $3050 USED. There is a market out there to save $500
They are going up on March 1 as well.
