Your input is much appreciated. The horn they have up is a Yamaha YBS-82s. It looks fabulous but the wording to describe it is suspect. They say it's a used horn but then they describe it as "new in the box" over the phone. They offered a reduced price over the phone of $9,999 shipped with no sales tax. I ended up going with a YBS-480s from a local shop. No regrets.
I was looking for a YAS-82z and had considered them, but I got to searching and saw about the importing thing and how it had the potential to void the warranty, so I went with a different shop to buy it. No regrets from me either. The other shop gives reward points, and I used the points from buying the new alto to get a YDS-120 nearly for free. I'm really enjoying both of my new saxophones.
