Hello

I am looking for a low price of around $200 for a 88 keyboard. Digital piano keyboard.

I have located a priva px 575r for 251 (inc shipping and one year warranty). Any other suggestions?

Maybe I should wait until Black Friday, but I will be pressed for a $200 range used?

$200 is going to be tough for 88 keys and hammer action. I looked about once a week for months on the Los Angeles area Craigslist and saw nothing worth buying in the $200 to $350 range. Many owners seemed to be asking 80% of current street price. The few units that are more realistically priced are snapped up quickly.

I seem to remember that there was a sale in November 2012 with a Casio CDP120 for $199, but it sold out quickly and the website for that vendor was very slow. So it is possible, but it is likely going to be difficult.

New models such as the Casio PX150 are around $500, and the Yamaha P35 around $440. I understand that for some people with a strict $200 budget I might as well be talking about shopping on the moon when I double the money involved.

Thanks for the thoughts.

In looking at 2012 Black Friday ads, GC and others had the 120 for 249; so I will wait until Black Friday it looks like.

Thanks again,
His Peace to you,
Kyle

Those Black Friday deals sell out fast. Ask in advance about GC's pre Black Friday, invitation only event. Usually some night after the store closes and you can get all the deals before everything sells out. If you have a sales guy you work with, they should be able to invite you.

The CDP120 isn't bad, especially if you can get it for $249 or less.
