Hi, I'm considering purchasing a DGH1BIIXG and was told by DUG to direct questions of price to this board instead. Does anyone know the list price of this piano? And so long as I'm here I might as well also ask what prices people have paid for their pianos. I surmise that 40% off list is generally a pretty good price to pay. Thanks for any help, Michael Koenig

I'm also looking to purchase a 5'3" disklavier, and I've been collecting some information on pricing. My understanding is that at ~45% to ~60% margin, many dealers ask the following: DGH1B IIXG $23,222.40 to $27,029.60 DC1 IIXG $26,870.40 to 33,269.60 DC1S $29,078.40 to 31,501.60 Negotiating to ~26% margin would result in: DGH1B IIXG $18,000 DC1 IIXG $20,300 DC1S $22,000 The best prices I've heard people claim are: (Has anyone on the list done better than this?) DGH1B IIXG $15,600 DC1 IIXG $18,800 If anyone else has pricing information on the 5'3" disklaviers, I'd be very interested. I'll offer to summarize any data sent to me in a message to the group.

I bought a DGH1 IIXG (with record)a few months ago. I went to two Yamaha dealers about 30 miles apart. I was not trying to have them bid against each other, but that is what happened. I finally got it for under 13,000. The initial offer was for 16,500. So, obviously they are still making money at close to 50% of the list price although I don't think they would do well selling a lot of their pianos at this rate :-). BTW, the piano is great!

I believe we purchased the DGH1B in 1995 for approx Cdn$22,000. At recent conversion rates this would be about US$15,000. This was not an XG model. They included a Yamaha TG100 tone generator in the price. We have been very pleased with it ever since. The dealer was Walter's Music, Yorkdale Mall, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The DGH1IIXG is a 5'3" grand piano. You can find more information on all of the models at http://www.yamaha.com/cgi-win/webcgi.exe/gDKG00002 Rod, That sounds like a very good price. Do you mind sharing where you purchased it?

We purchased our DC2 IIXG for just under $19,000 one year ago.

I detect a sudden and (unlike DUG) welcome interest in a free market exchange regarding pricing. What say I create a data base on our web site where we contribute the following info: Model Date Purchased Approx Age (or bought new) List Price (if known) Price Paid Dealer Name & Location Comments It will be a lot easier to collect info that way and make comparisons by pouring through all the e-mails. If you want to inquire about a certain model, issue a request that someone who has one to update the database with their information. I'll get it set up ASAP. -----Original Message----- From: Don Fraser <donfraser@...> To: disklavier@egroups.com <disklavier@egroups.com> Date: Monday, December 20, 1999 10:23 PM Subject: [disklavier] Re: Price on DGH1BIIXG (5'3")?? >We purchased our DC2 IIXG for just under $19,000 one year ago.
