Worked for me..I bought the XS8 becasue I wanted to get it before the wholesale price increase to keep as much of the resale value as possible. Working for a dealer I buy for 10% under dealer cost and agree not to sellt sell for a year ....However with both the Tyros and the Motif I plan to sell them just before the new models are released which will be past the year mark and buy the new Models for 10% under.....I will keep this up as long as I am working for a dealer. Wash Rinse repeat...Its too good a deal not to take advantage of. Korg is only 5% under wholesale for dealer employees. Still not bad. Yamaha is smart to do this because I can be an expert on their gear actually owning it and they are right because I am the only one ion the store who has sold Tyros' and Motifs. Everybody calls me over to demo the stuff.....because I own it at much lesser financial peril on the used market down the line.

Win Win.

PS Anyone who owns a US or Mexican Strat just had their used values increase 20% as well. People paid $999 for a new American months ago that are now priced at $1250 MAP.
