1942.0. "Daddy's <> Yamaha : Daddy's = Obie" by NORGE::CHAD () Thu Mar 16 1989 17:28

Mr Moderator:  Please place this where appropriate.  I looked in the
first 20 and didn't see anything appropriate.


Daddy's is as of NOW no longer a Yamaha (gee, I said it!) dealer.  Yamaha is
buying back their inventory.  This is a brand new (publically) devlopment.

Daddy's has however started carrying Oberheim.

1942.1Bargain time??WEFXEM::COTEThe fool screams no more...Thu Mar 16 1989 18:477
    So it would seem like this would be THE time to buy Yamaha.
    
    If the dealer pays $nnn for a piece of hardware, I would assume
    that Yamaha Inc. will buy it back for no more than $nnn. So the
    dealer should be happy to sell it to me for $nnn+ *anything*, yes?

1942.2Bargain land at Daddy's...ACDC::RENEHello, Howard...next door neighbor!!Thu Mar 16 1989 18:5310
    + *anything* ??? well almost. One of the guys is the band just picked
    up a Yahahahah power amp (model ?) for an extremely great price.
    This was at Daddy's in Nashua. Also picked up dome great monitors.
    They ended up getting about 40% off Daddy's ticketed price.
    
    I guess it is bargain time. 
    
    BTW..what is with Y* lately? No more ideas for new products?

1942.3well...NORGE::CHADThu Mar 16 1989 19:178
Sorry, from what I understand, they aren't cutting any more deals for
y* stuff.  However, call to find out if you really are looking for
a y* product.

Daddy's NASHUA STORE.

1942.4How about Shrewsbury?CASV01::SEDERSET PROFILE/PERSONAL_N....oops!Fri Mar 17 1989 06:454
    Does anyone know if Daddy's in Shrewsbury even got any Yamaha stuff
    to begin with?

    The only Y-stuff in Shrewsbury was used.  They had a DX21, a DX27,
    a QX7/21, a drum box or two.  Also some ancient guitar amps.
1942.6news at 11NORGE::CHADFri Mar 17 1989 13:046
Of course they should still carry used Y*.  I'll confirm that and find out more
at lunch when I go to the Nashua store to borrow the last TX16W disks before
they get old back.

1942.7Where?HPSRAD::NORCROSSStand and Deliver.Fri Mar 17 1989 13:235
Daddy's in  Shrewsbury??    I  didn't  know  it  existed.  Could someone
     indicate where in Shrewsbury this store is?

Thanks,

    Shrewsbury's Daddy's is right next to Leiser Sound on Rte. 9.  They
    just opened a week ago.  
    
    
1942.9I stand corrected.NORGE::CHADFri Mar 17 1989 15:499
They are still going to cut deals on Y* stuff until Yamaha actually has taken
the stuff back.  They are only getting their cost back from Yamaha so they
are more than willing to cut deals.  Tim in Nashua told me that they are ready
to make some really good deals (whatever that means) because it is still more
than they will get back.  He said by the start of the new month it will probably
be already sold back to Yamaha so if you want something, start cutting a deal!

1942.11?NORGE::CHADFri Mar 17 1989 16:458
The RX-7 has that price on it in the store now.  If you were to go in and 
seriously want something you could probably do better.  I dunno.  I can't
afford anything more

1942.12The guy I talked to thought that Y* would buy-back high...DDIF::EIRIKURFri Mar 17 1989 16:497
    Gee, I stopped by the Nashua store last night and couldn't talk them
    down below $1000 for the KX88 demo unit they have.  Actually, I
    was quoted $1295 as the best they could do.  Tim wasn't there....
    The regular price sticker on the thing reads $1495 :-(

1942.13.NORGE::CHADFri Mar 17 1989 17:535
Actuall, 1000 for a KX88 demo unit isn't that bad.  Sam Ash a few weeks agi
wanted 1297 for a new one.

1942.14But A Y-Word drum machine - never!DRUMS::FEHSKENSTue Mar 21 1989 13:114

1942.15... but its worth a call...NRPUR::DEATONtired of thinking up cute quotesTue Mar 21 1989 14:047
RE < Note 1942.14 by DRUMS::FEHSKENS >

	From talking to them last week, I would doubt they had much of anything
beyond the 4-op units left.

1942.16TX802 availableNORGE::CHADTue Mar 21 1989 15:507
I just got back from there (Nashua store).  They had a TX802 for sale.
Just give them a call.  They also had a TX16W, as well as 4-op synths
(DS55, *200), PA equipment, and consumer stuff.  Also various RX and QX
stuff.
