I think this is a little misleading. All of the Disklavier grands are not $30,000. Some of them can be purchased for around $15k. It depends on the model. The upright MX100II, which basically lists for something like $12-14k, can be had for less then $10k; I got mine for $8200. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.

I agree, it is quite rare to see used Disklaviers for sale. Maybe people can't stand to let them go! I bought a new one because I couldn't find a used one and the technology on the new ones is better than in the older models. P.S. I'm not selling mine!
