The Pioneer prices look more like list price than MSRP. They are way high. I bought an S201 for $370 or something like that and people I knew bought S250s (nearly the same) for even less. The S104 had the same $299.99 price list or MSRP. That was the cheapest player ever and it had the price that ended in 9s to prove it. The LD-W1 price seems closer to list...

I bought an S201 for $370 or something like that and people I knew bought S250s (nearly the same) for even less. By MSRP I mean List Price/Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. They are way high indeed, with a significant amount of these players having a retail price that was hundreds less than the MSRP. I have some of those numbers from retail advertisements: - CLD-870 $290 (-$210)
- CLD-1080 $350 (-$250?)
- CLD-M301 $360 (-$340?)
- CLD-M401 $430 (-$340?)
- CLD-D502 $440 (-$210?)
- CLD-2080 $500 ($-150?)
- CLD-V740 $500 (-$400)
- CLD-V820 $590 (-$410)
- CLD-D702 $720, $690 (-$510?)
- CLD-3070 $900 (-$300)
- CLD-3080 $800 (-$400?)
I had to estimate on some models because I haven't found the MSRP yet. signofzeta wrote: The LD-W1 price seems closer to list... The LD-W1 price was much lower than I thought, but this is from a 1989 issue of Consumers Digest. "List": $1,700 "Best": $1,440. Another article from 1988 confirms the $1,700. This really was the buy!

ryosaeba84 wrote: WOW ! I never knew that LD players were that expensive back then, truly was a format for the rich. Thanks for all these infos cplusplus. It’s not just LD, it was everything electronics. Pioneer never make a $79 sound bar to hook to a $1000 player. Many TVs were thousands of dollars back then. $1500 VCRs weren’t uncommon but you still needed $400 for a halfway decent one up until 1990 or so. The Japanese market was intense with $300 Walkmans and $1500 ghetto blasters. It was made of real metal. Not by slaves and robots in China. It was built to last forever (hence this forum in 2020 still going) and not to be replaced by an annual update. The stuff that’s still being made this way is still expensive but rarely is it done. Today’s product designer mainly works to eliminate the entire product from existence or as close to it as possible so they can charge for software. When my oldest players were made gas was $0.80 a gallon and a new Chevy S-10 pickup truck could be bought for $6000. You could get two 16.9 Oz glass bottles of Coke for $1. The average American home was $100,000 (now more like $400,000). An average phone bill was $12 and you rented the phone. Today people actually spend $1000 on a phone and $150 a month for the bill. That would be a lot of LD players... Also back then, music cost money. Sometimes just to hear a song...period, because there was no other way, you spent $15 on an import single. Even domestic 7”s were $3 each, $1.50 a song. People do still pay for music but it’s no longer a mainstream thing.

Yes the CLD-D925 had an SSSP or "list price" of £799 when first released here in the UK, there were very few retailers discounting it by much for the first year or so.

Updated the prices, power/dimensions on a bunch of players found in a stack of Pioneer brochures/material I acquired a while ago: Julien
