I just fail to understand why anyone would buy an N2 from Costco when they can get it direct from Yamaha for $1,001 cheaper. Is the Costco special 5yr warranty worth $561 (after the 4% cash reward of $440)? And there is even a possibility that getting it directly from Yamaha will save another sales tax on top of the $561.

I think there was a discussion about Costco and AG pricing here maybe last year; as Mac said Costco is hit or miss on AG pricing, especially the N2. If you live in an area where a dealer will give you $8000 flat including tax and delivery in an N2, then it's a bad deal. If your dealer will not budge from $19k for the N3X as some users have found (or you just really, really can't bring yourself to haggle) then Costco is an easy alternative.
I think the Costco pricing for Yamaha acoustic pianos is much more consistent (though people have said you want to be informed about whether they're made in Japan/Indonesia and other such details).

So you're saying you can buy an N2 direct from Yamaha? I never knew that Yamaha would sell direct. At that Yamaha site I see $11,000 ... the same as Costco's $11,000. Are you seeing a different figure ... a figure $1,001 dollars lower? Anyway ... your point is a good one because neither is a "best" buy.. I see these prices in the Prices Paid listing: curtisrollo . . . .CA . . Jun 2010 . . $8,800

Just bought a new Kawai KDP110 from Kraft Music. 2/5/19 Called the order in and got it for $50 less than the website price, and free freight shipping, no sales tax. $1149 when all said and done. ðŸ˜
Kraft ships out of Franklin WI, I'm near Niagara Falls NY. Will take about 6 days to get here.
