Is this legit??

Especially since the seller has 0 feedback.

The best piece of advice I can give regarding Ebay transactions is to stay away from a seller with zero feedback.

If you are determined to bid then email the seller and request his/her address and phone number and call them. Intuition goes a long way once you have spoken to them as to wether they are an honest first time seller or one of the ever increasing Ebay fraudsters.

Well obviously I avoid the 0 feedbackers, but I'm more talking about the fact that this guys auctioning off a Virus TI, that isn't even out yet, with no reserve and a starting price of like $16. And he's got no feedback points and doesn't appear to be a dealer.

So, yeah, you think?

Avoid?

I'll add to that:
The best piece of advice I can give regarding Ebay transactions is to stay away from a seller with zero feedback who sells synth that are not even released yet.

Do not waste time emailing him.

Then you're out $50 (merry Christmas). There is no reason to suspect that he has a working pre-release unit and, if he does, you probably won't want it -- no warranty, probably buggy software, etc.

Bogus eBay auctions for motorcyles are more common that real ones, it seems, so folks on model-specific boards often gang up, get fake email addresses, and bid them up into the stratosphere. Great fun.

I'm sure this dirtball would be thrilled to see his TI up to $375,000.

A wise move I think.

5inusoid 14.12.2004 11:57 PM

What about $75?

why not buy a real synth from a real dealer and actually have something to call your own besides regrets?
