dewster in New Jersey bought a Roland RD700NXC for $2199
FredFabulous in Norway bought a Roland RD700NX for $3400

Is there a difference between the NX and the NXC that would explain the $1200 difference?

Taxes and +25% import duty. I know, it's a crazy country.

Getting it shipped from USA would give me this:

2200 * 1.25 = 2750
+ shipping say +250 = 3000

Pondered a lot if it was worth the difference that I could return it within 30 days and warranty and all. And finally took the plunge.

But man I really thought I could get a better price, according to my receipt I got $150 off, the price was also $120 more than he initially told me. Lesson to be learned - do NOT get too friendly with the store owner if you're not a very confident haggler.

Still not sure if it was the right thing to do. Got 30 days to work up some anger and return it if I so decide.

Was going to wait until February, but vendor had a Christmas sale going on until 12/31. Couldn't pass up the deal.

I would have waited until Yamaha clears out the 300-series. Most 340's in this thread already sold for less than $2950. So if Yamaha announces a new line next month (as expected), then the existing 300-series remnants might become available at extra-sweet prices.

Strange price tags...

1 EUR = 1.30 USD

Roland RD700NX
USA: 2200 USD / 1700 EUR
Norway: 3400 USD / 2600 EUR
Germany: 3120 USD / 2400 EUR

Yamaha CLP340
USA: 2950 USD / 2270 EUR
Germany: 2600 USD / 2000 EUR

Kawai CA series is significantly more expensive in US than in Europe...

Really wanted the Ebony finish, but I think it'd have to be special ordered and judging by research and this thread, I think I should let that go because it looks like I got a good deal. Pretty stoked.
