Does anyone have suggestions for digital pianos that are on the inexpensive side

Question:I'm willing to spend around $500, maybe $600 at most. It doesn't have to be anything fancy; I just want something that feels like a real piano when it comes to how it feels when hitting the keys, and the sound.

I'd also appreciate suggestions on where to buy them, other than eBay. I prefer to buy from an actual store but I guess I don't mind resorting to an online store if there aren't any good deals available.

Looks like you are quite sure about what you want - which is great and makes the suggestion a lot easier, to say at least. :) In turn, I'm not so sure what you want your instrument for and, in plain words, how much do you expect from it.

It is mainly about your performing level. Just home playing and occasional amateur gigs - one set of needs. Electronic substitute for serious recitals' piano and decent public shows - naturally, another. In both cases, however, I would NOT recommend Yamahas: IMHO, they have very hard "bottom" of the keys so your fingers really start aching after some time, like you were practicing on a wooden table... And they sound too crappy for their shifted prices.

Korgs are not for serious player, but on amateur level they may be Ok. Plastic feel and sound - do I have to say more?
Rolands, on the other hand, are darn good. And darn expensive. :( Kawai may be the best fit for you. As well as less known Asian-made labels.

The best thing I can suggest: hit any BIG e-store, like zzsound, and look thru their selection of digital pianos. See the prices and, more importantly, read the reviews - customers are mostly intelligent folks, so you'll get pretty adequate picture. Then, when your searching circle will be narrowed to, say, 3 to 5 models, simply Google for them - you'll get bunches of offers, guaranteed! After that it's up to you to contact the stores for possible deals on used instruments. :)

i got mine at Sam's or Cosco and it only was $150. its a yamaha and they have better ones that cost about $300.
