Update: Warnings are in that this is a scam. Be careful.
sketchy looking auction- same ad body as the Roland also listed here, same email address but 2 different sellers, market prices set too low.... I've caught other fake ebay ads for synths that were posted by hijacked ebay accounts... Caveat Emptor

Hey Guys.
ReplyDeleteI was following this auction to see how it went but it has been cancelled.
I have an EMS AKS synthi that Im considering selling because my direction has changed recently.
I bought it about 3years ago and it works perfectly, Ive played live with it a few times and the response has been fantastic. I was however ALWAYS worried it would go missing so I dont want to take it to my live shows anymore. Im a live musician only so I no longer have a use for it really, sure it would be nice to keep but I think a person that can use it more often and (possibly) better than me would appreciate it more.
Im in Australia and will be in Europe March 2008 so if someone wants to offer me to bring it to them then, then it could be possible.
Im curious as to how much one of these beasts sells for now, hence I was watching the auction. I imagine near US$ 5000 as that is around what I paid for it.
I may put it up for auction in the near future, is eBay the most popular auction site for vintage synths? Ant other major ones?
I also have a Triadex Muse that I may be getting rid of too...
The Analog Heaven list or Ebay are usually your best bet but just be sure to be safe. There are bad traders out there. You can search the AH archives for "bad trader" to weed some out.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
