I agree with you Tony and Scotty but that is a game some manufacturer/dealers play.
The name of the game is INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU INVEST, as in any commodity.
For example, the difference in the asking price for a KN6000 when it was released was 3100 USD in Los Angeles and 5995 USD in San Jose, both in California. That is a short distance of 400 miles. The freight for 400 miles is maybe 20.00 for a keyboard, on UPS.
Think about it.
