Surely not. Scroll down to see a Technics SX-K200 for $2495.

Perhaps they got the decimal point in the wrong place as there's one on Gumtree for $200.

$2000 for a 303 that doesn't even work. :face palm:

Roland TB303 TB 303 Vintage Analog Base Synthesizer Baseline Synth TB 303 | eBay

Somebody will buy it.

Had something similar happen to me recently, the seller immediately refunded with some excuse and tried to put across a deal outside Ebay. But didn't follow through with it.
However, I think its likely the synth went for less than he might have thought it would and didn't want to go through with it.

So this is something I forgot I bid on and just found out now I won. Looking that this is the sellers only activity for some time. What do you guys think? Scam?

certainly delusional...

yes especially because they are $1700 new

What specifically makes you think it's a scam? Or are you just trying to get out of it?

This person has been persistently listing a Waldorf Q rack, standard 16 voices, for $1900. USD. I could see a Q keyboard easily going for that these days but certainly not a standard voiced rack.

Wish I still had a copy of the ad, but about two years ago there was an ad on Craigslist in Albuquerque for a Juno 106 going for "CHEAP" because it was "A little scratched." Now, keep in mind I just bought a pristine Juno 106 a few miles north in Rio Rancho for $300, looked like it had never been used.

So I go to check it out and this guy brings me to a table where it's set up. The keyboard is bent at an obvious angle in the middle and every slider on the thing was bent sideways like a fish-hook. I plug in headphones and without even touching a key I can hear a single voice droning on with the LFO modulating its pitch. I try to change settings and play the keys and it doesn't alter the sound. I mean, this thing looked like it was run over by a semi!

I told the guy "uh well how much do you want for it?" Thinking I could still turn a small profit on ebay with an honest listing, he said "Well From what I'm seein they go for around fifteen-undred, so I'll let ya have it for $900." I told him that's a bit much for how bad the condition it's in and he got really angry and was telling me his son is a real musician who takes perfect care of it.

So I left as fast as I could, it was really awkward after that. My other favorite with craigslisters (probably more on meth than crack, I met a band to jam with on craigslist and they were passing around a meth pipe, but that's another story for another thread) is when I see some old warped, beat up no-name guitar for $2500, "RARE ANTIQUE GUITAR. My grandpa died and this was in his attic next to the AC. No name or case but it's old like my grandpa was, hope it finds a good home."

^All those reasons and more are why I do not ever use Craigslist. It's literally the ugly underbelly of the internet...it's become so bad that my major metro city has had to constantly warn people to not ever meet anyone from CL ads unless it's in front of a police or fire station, emphasis on the first.
We had a whole band practice co-op studio place ripped off of most of instruments and equipment there ALL because of a CL ad and someone had the creep come there. They recouped most of equipment, yep, right from Craigslist Ads and some arrests.

Well, I can say I have had many good experiences with CL that turned out normal and went as planned. I got some music students through it, found two nice teaching jobs I was hired for, sold a Fantom G, and have met many musicians to jam with for a few hours and had a great time.

As with anything, you just have to keep your guard up and use good judgement. If something seems like it could be dangerous, don't do it.

I've had nothing but great experiences on CL. Made dozens of trades and deals, two of my best friends now I met through CL ads and the last band I was in for three years was found via CL. If your town has bad CL is just probably a town full of bad people.

I will assume this is the case here....



Wow!

Korg x3 Synthesizer Workstation Peavey Carry Bag | eBay

Following with the theme of overpriced old Korg workstations...

There's another 01W Pro X on the same CL for $700 which while more reasonable than $3000 is still more than it's worth. There was an ad running in every East coast CL I looked in for a Korg Kronos X asking for more than the thing sold for when it was new. And recently there's scads of M3's going for $1300 - $2300 and from what I've read the backlights for the display on that model is reaching it's EOL already which may explain why so many people are trying to dump them now. Then there's the constant flood of Tritons going anywhere from $200 - $1200. The used market seems so flooded with Korg Workstations I can't imagine anybody willing to pay such high prices for them.

Man that makes for a weird jam. Want some meth man, huh no thank you?

Smoked meth and still had instruments. That's the weird part.

Definitely one of the stranger situations music has put me in. All in all the media (as with anything they do) horribly misrepresents drug use and you only ever hear about the real crazy ones. You don't hear stories like "local man smoked meth, watched tv for 4 hours, took a shower."

They were friendly, but it was still uncomfortable for me!

Today I bought a Lexi Reflex for 60 bucks - and prolly paid too much. Could've been worse, tho'...

Roland SC 8850 Soundcanvas Roland Ed Sound Module General MIDI GS USB | eBay

$450 for a Roland GM module. You can get a JV-1080/2080 etc for cheaper than that actually has good sounds, and even has GM support, but who really needs GM these days? "I want that vintage General Midi sound!" said like no one ever, besides maybe someone into vintage PC video games (and even then the MT-32 is higher regarded for that).

Although I would never pay that much for one, I've read somewhere that these have great fx...450 is insane though.

Now here's a good one. Vintage box, adorned with vintage tape.

Craigslist links do not work

Well thats a bummer - lol. Anyway, it was a link to someone selling a beatup, empty Oberheim box for $100.

Here -

I found the ad and made an archive of the link. Which is even better because it's archived it will never go away so this bit of madness will entertain GS'ers for years to come...

I'd think twice before buying fella's.
I have a feeling the bubble will burst on the vintage box market.

Oberheim Matrix 6 Vintage Synthesizer Synth Keyboard 4959112094529 | eBay

Makes me wish I bought that Matrix 6 for $300 5 years ago...

It will be interesting to see if that $1k Matrix-6 sells at that price. Seems like there has been a lot of effort lately to drive up the prices of the common hybrids (DW's, ESQ's, etc) even though these synths are very common and rather inferior given modern alternatives.
