[net.micro.trs-80] Lower prices for Tandy 2000 hardware

robert@fear.UUCP (Robert Plamondon) (07/22/85)

Tandy has just dropped its prices for most of the Tandy 2000
hardware.  Many retailers and discount houses DON'T REALIZE THIS YET,
since Tandy didn't mention it when they sent out the new price book.
The prices ARE in the price book, though, so make sure your dealer
checks it before charging you.

The price of the Tandy 2000 itself has dropped to $1599, and all the
hardware is cheaper, too.

My notes are at home, but here are the prices I remember:

Item			Old Price	New Price
----			---------	---------
External RAM board	$299		$ 229
10Mbyte hard disk	$1699		$1299
Clock/Mouse board	 ?		$  99
Tandy 2000 256k 2dr	$2499		$1599
Tandy 2000 hard disk	 ?		$2499

The graphics hardware has been reduced too, but I don't remember the
prices.

Mail-order houses will give a 10-15% discount off these prices, but
many don't know about the price reduction.  Montezuma Micro was still
selling RAM boards at $337, which reflects the JANUARY price.  There
have been two price reductions since then.
