The Yamaha PSR-520 portable keyboard was first introduced in 1998. Unfortunately, I do not have information about the selling price of the Yamaha PSR-520 at Circuit City in Chicago at that time, as pricing can vary depending on many factors such as store location, availability, promotions, and discounts.
It is worth noting that Circuit City filed for bankruptcy in 2008 and closed all of its stores, so it may not be possible to obtain pricing information for that specific retailer.
However, the Yamaha PSR-520 was a mid-range keyboard model at the time and was priced around $500-$600 USD.
