I wandered Market Street in San Francisco two weeks ago, and found nothing
to compete with the Aiwa HV-MX100.  The best price I was quoted was $649
(although one guy did say $500, if it is in cash and you come back within
one hour).  Half a dozen stores were willing to match the $649 price, but
half of them didn't want to ship or deal with a university check.  None
would accept purchase orders.  World of Stereo II (415/626-1195) and
Digital Photo Electronic (415/928-6263). were two stores that agreed to
ship after receiving a university check.  These are small store front
operations, and I am hesitant to deal with them from a 1000 miles away.
With a shipping charge quoted at $30, there is little saving over the price
that Ed quotes.  So, if he has found a reliable dealer that is ready to
work with standard university procedures, I think that is a good way to go.


How about it, Ed?  Where did you get the $711 price quote?
