I know that $3995 will get you one from most dealers. Personally, I was quoted $2995 if I bought it that day - the end of the month.

Good luck. Now you have me rethinking my options. My VR760 is fantastic and the PSR2000 is good enough for the arranger styles I need. Umh.....

Thanks! I got the new sounds choices to stick. Thank you.

What did you think of the Technics KN-7000 you just sold on E-bay???...Did you have to tweek the Sounds and Styles also?...I never had the option of trying one!

It was great! I sold it for the G-70. I am now sorry I did!

?If the G-70 is so hard to get and such a POPULAR instrument, why hasn't anyone bought it on the eBay auction?

I called around and dealers are selling them for $3,495 to $3,995, plus tax, and I've listed it at $3,250 with many valuable extras.

Could it be the G-70 is officially dead?

Here's the link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7334742638

I think Roland really took a shot in the dark here with this keyboard. I think their marketing decisions killed it before it even hit the market. Maybe it's me, but it seems they really rushed this one out, and didn't spend enought time to program the unit to sound good out of the box like you'd find with a Yamaha PSR-3000 or Tyros.


Squeak

I think that anyone who pays more than $3500 USD is paying too much for a new G-70. Dealers can advertise them at $3995 and go down from there.
Southland Music Center in Taylor, Michigan is giving very good deals. Last I checked, Bill Loos, the owner, was willing to sell his four G-70's below $3.5k to serious buyers.

Because so many here at SZ including you VegaVagga have put the keyboard down so much everyone is afraid of it now.
I have one and I get a thrill every time I set down to play it.
Keep in mind that most people on E Bay have never hurd of a G 70 becaues of Roland's marketing plan.
And the ones that are here on SZ that want one, already have one.
Than there are those that want one but are afraid to buy because of what they read here on SZ.
The G 70 is a great keyboard and trust me it is not dead.
But if you want to sell it start by not telling everyone what a dog you think it is that might help.
You may have yours for a good long while.
Don't get mad just answering your question.

Very fairly stated! I am certainly not mad. I am in no rush, so we'll just see what happens.

Perhaps, Vega, you could quote a price for just the G-70?

There may be many here who don't need/want/can't afford the accessories. You want it to move, you've got to price it less than a new one to cover any warranty hassles, and consensus here is it can be had for a bit under $3500 at most stores.
