my boyfriend didnt come home last night (again) so i'm selling off his stuff
apparently this is some sort of synthesizer. he listens to that shitty techno music so maybe that will help you.

i'm so fucking mad at him right now that the first person here with some money gets it. or you can take me out to breakfast and have it. i dont care i just want to make him mad.

"Minimoog model D, excellent conditions. If you are thinking about bidding, you know well what it is. S.n. 5474, old oscillator board, buffer board. This Mini is incredibly stable in pitch! Very good esthetic condition, all knobs and silver centers are there. The woodwork has only some signs of the time (according to my opinion, it's worth 9/10). Both Moog nameplates are on it. This Mini has still its yellow Moog original tag, labelled "september 1974": the machine seems as coming from a time capsule... All of the keyboard bushings have been replaced one week ago by an excellent technician with new, very rare and expensive rubber ones, so it has a smoooooooth and precise feel, as it used to have at its birth. Last but not least, it sports the LH controller with the ultraRARE ribbon controller; this was an option offered by Moog, as reported in the Minimoog owners manual (I'll send also copies of this, if needed). Such a controller, alone, has been sold at a recent UK auction at more than 500 euros!!!) It works 100%. My references: I am a vintage synth collector, on eBay since 1999, 100% positive feedback; some of my machines are pictured in the nice Peter Forrest book on Vintage synthesizers (my name, Fernando Zarone, is in the acknowledgements). According to the actual eBay policy trend, due to the vintage nature of this Minimoog (35 yrs old), it is sold AS IS, NO RETURNS are possible. Anyway, I don't think you'll be able to find a better one in the future! If any question, please consider I shall have some difficulties to reply from april 8th to 12th, being abroad for Easter holidays. I'll be able to give a precise shipping cost after the end of auction. Happy bidding!"

Remember FLAME, the talking synth? Check out their MIDI controller. Title link takes you to the product page which also has a psychoFLAME sequencer listed but no pic, though I'm wondering if that's it in the site's header below.

Thought this was pretty funny. A day late, but I'll take it.

via memeo in this VSE post:
"Behringer has announced their new synthesizer, the Nordic Lead. After hours of reverse engineering years of completely original design and development, they have created a professional, state-of-the-art synthesizer. You know that it's professional because they call it professional in the literature (several times), and it clearly says "Professional" on the back.

The Nordic Lead will begin to ship in June 2007. The final pricing has not been set, but Behringer expect it to be around $14.95."

"A must-have for any serious producer. This unit cost $5,000.00 when purchased new in the 1985. Almost impossible to find, very rare. Apparantly it has Analog synthesizer features like VCO's & LFO's in it so that you can change the drum sounds and patches and is highly editable .... very RAW ! ! Just to give you an example.. the very desired ADD-ONE sold for $4,000.00 new ... which is probably inferior to this one seeing this one sold for $1,000.00 MORE. I only have the info below on it and most of it is in a foreign language. On the same line as Roger Linns MPC's and the EMU Sp12 and the drum machines but apparantly much more superior and sought after."
