As a potential future customer, I would like to see a MSRP for all models 
posted.  I am not as stupid as some of the dealers seem to think:   I know 
that if I want additional speakers, there will be additional cost.  Also, 
if the installation is complex, it will cost more.  But I want to know a 
ball park figure which will be my goal.  As it is, if I want a 3 manual 
draw knob organ, I have no idea if it will cost me $35,000, $50,000, 
$75,000 or $100,000 or over.   If it is 35 or 50K, it might be within my 
range, if it is $100K or more, forget it.

By withholding this information, dealers may be losing out, as I may go for 
a used organ when I might be able to afford a new model and not now 
it.  When it is time to buy a new car, I have a rough idea what it will 
cost me, and if I want a lot of accessories, I know the cost of the car 
will increase.

I hear dealers complain that they work hard with an organ committee, only 
to be told "We will have to figure out how we will finance it and get back 
to you."  If the committee had some idea of the cost, they might not bother 
the dealer until they had their financing arranged.  Wouldn't this be an 
advantage to the dealer?  As a dealer, wouldn't you prefer a customer that 
has the funds and is ready to buy, than one who has to wait two years to 
raise funds?
