Although he is based in Germany (according to his ebay page at least) frankly you'd be accepting a fair degree of risk with this one.
Seller since 2001 apparently, only 176 sales so far, but 782 items currently for sale.
@_@!!
Personally, I wouldn't touch anyone with less than 500 sales.
Smells fishy.

Could be genuine, but I'll let someone else report back first...

It's a bargain 
And with his synths referred to in your first and third posts, somewhat surprisingly the descriptions (and pix) are EXACTLY the same as 6 years ago and 4 years ago.
Which is 'unusual'.

I've never owned a Korg Oasys 88 before.
Bit scary looking those discs.

Bugger, they should have been the same for the 2nd one too. Posted the wrong one of the Jupiter 8s he has for sale.dark water wrote:It's a bargain

The Alesis Andromeda one is interesting it's the only one that doesn't register a hit elsewhere with a reverse image search. The other images haven't been doctored or altered in any way either - just lifted verbatim from other sites. Wonder if the scammer actually has access to that synth.
edit: the thread tripled in size and Whyterabbyt found some pre-Photoshop images for other synths while I was writing the above. Excellent work!
