I went to my local Amiga dealership today to see about an Amiga 3000. He 
whipped out a price list dated 3/25/91 that has substantially higher prices
than the list posted to the net dated 3/1/91. In addition, the list my dealer
gave me has no indication of having come from Commodore -- no letterhead
or logo, just two typewritten pages. Furthermore, some of the specs are
different (eg. the A3000-25/1000 is listed as coming with only 2 megs
rather than 5). The price for an A3000-25-50 is $2719 on the list the dealer
gave me vs. $2547 on the list posted to the net. Calling two other dealers
in the state got me one replication of the prices posted to the net and a
third price that seemed to be an old, out of date quote.

I would appreciate any clarification anyone could give me on this. I can
live with paying the extra $172 bucks if I must, I just hate the idea of
doing business with an unscrupulous dealer.

Thanks.
