Department Store ST-520s?

In my (long and tedious) search for a local ST-520 dealer, I came
across a soon-to-be Amiga dealer. His customers have seen ST-520s
in Macy's in New York City.
Can anyone confirm this? ST-520's in department stores would be a
death blow to Atari's chances of finding "serious" dealers (ones who
are willing to service the machines.)

I played with a ST-520 in a department store in Binghamton, NY over
2 weeks ago.

Some chain (I forget the name; maybe Computerland?) has opened a branch within a local "high-end" department store. Maybe you've seen something like that? dgc

A number of regional dept. stores (Abraham & Straus in NYC metro,
Woodward & Lothrop in DC, etc.) have a 'Computer Depot' department.
When I mentioned to someone in the DC store above that I had seen
a similar department in a different dept. store around NYC, I was
informed they were an independent operation which provided an 'instant'
computer department for such stores.

Is it my imagination, or is 42nd St Photo selling the 520ST at full price? They seem to be asking 999 for the version with color monitor. I didn't think they ever sold anything at full price. Has Tramiel found some magic way to bind sellers effectively to list prices? -- scott preece ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!preece
