If so, and it get checked out by a qualified technician, it is something to consider.

Was their one overseas at that time?

I've no idea about usa prices but if you'd do well to have it inspected by a qualified tech in the area who knows the market. It doesn't seem like an out of the ordinary price YAMAHA Artist
