Sorry... I'm not WWBW... and I don't think WWBW has ever been considered the
standard price setter for any instrument. I've seen others as low as $1,999
in some places now that people would like to bitch about pricing.

Point being, I'm not those sellers... and I set my own price in relation to
how much I paid for it, and when same-day emergency shipping with FedEx
costing 170 dollars, 2,500 would actually be a drop in the amount paid for
the instrument at the WWBW price.

And for the guy who is freaked out about the instrument being used, I should
enlighten you that any instrument you buy is "used" 'cause they're play
tested by the manufacturer if not by someone checking out the instrument
previously. If you have qualms about someone opening the case and touching
the instument 3 times before you got to it and then want a 300-400 dollar
knock off the price because of that, you need a serious reality check. For
all intensive purposes, the instrument is indeed "brand spankin' new".

Unless you're interested in negotiating a price to actually buy the
instrument, I don't appreciate the price-bitching emails on & off the list
that I've been receiving from people not even interested in buying the
instrument.

Just trying to get my money back... geez

But the price at the WW and BW for a new one is $2,375. Perhaps you are a
bit high.
