>Does this deal sound too good to be true?  Maybe...

I just got my new Service Merchandise catalog (1985 Spring & Summer).
They are selling the D5 for $227.87 but they won't be available until
until 3/15/85 (line forms Friday morning behind me :-) ).

At the same time, Sony has a deal going on the price of Discs.  If you
buy a disc player before the end of April, you can buy as many discs
as you want for $7.99 apiece.  The catch is you only have a list of
30 to choose from.  This deal will apply to your purchase also and, in
fact, may be what they are referring to.

Any good record store will probably let you return a disc for replacement
or exchange if you aren't happy.  After all, you aren't going to damage
it any and they want to keep a good relationship with you.

So what you end up with is the ability to buy records for a couple of
dollars cheaper than most record stores.  This will probably change over
the next few months as more and more players are sold.  You have to 
decide if you will buy enough discs from your dealer to overcome this
price difference.  In any case, happy listening...
