Hi just found this page so forgive the n00b if im in the wrong place, but Im going to or I should say have been trying to purchase a KB for the past month.

First things first been trying to get a psr-2100 from GC only yamaha autho store here in LV that had em, but they did not have a new one in the box, so put an order for it.

Said it would take a about a week, so day comes and they sell it for a president day sale because they thought I said I wanted to put it on lay-a-away??? (they still do that?? )

But dont worry 2 more are on the way 1 from another GC and 1 from yamaha, should take a week, week goes by, guy calls and says after checking out the order, he finds out that the other GC sent a repacked used keyboard

Well at least the yamaha one is one the way, salesguy said when he gets it, he will make sure it is factory sealed fresh, should be in next day, day 1 - in transit 2 - 3 goes by, call them back, guess what? still in transit.

But all the while been reading up on all the different forums and sites, man times sure have changed since my ensoniq /dx7 days so many neat toys.

But anyway a tyros sounds like a better deal, so i thought what the heck called GC 3rd time for status update (transit) so i say "do u have a tyros new in the box?" guess what he said? "no but we can order 1" umm yeah thats ok lol...

but to be fair, not his fault, he apologized soo many times, and cant understand it either.

whoa sorry for the long rant but my question was? like the GC guy said about checking to see its sealed etc..If I was to get a new tyros, what would a brand new boxed one look like? can ya tell if it was opened etc.. sorry if its a dumb question.

P.S anyone know of any good trustworthy stores in california that has new tyro's in stock and also whats a good price or the going price for em now? 2795 here in vegas. well to order one anyway.

You'll be able to tell if the box has been opened. They wrap them really well.

It will be the most valuable help you can get, next to this forum!

Being on the west coast and not to deal with George would be foolish..

Fran,
I could tell it was brand new! Especially since it was in a Roland box.
Can't fool me man.
