Saw this on Ebay - get your cheque books out or your plastic rather !

This looks either too good to be true, or so NOT dodgy it MUST be dodgy...

For my fellow forum members across the pond, "dodgy" = "bogus", as in "Bill & Ted's Dodgy Adventure"...

Any thoughts ?

Now how long shall I wait before I bid...?

Too good how? I was under the impression that some of the bigger music stores in big cities have them for sale now.

Italmelodie in Montreal's got one. I stop by that store occasionally just to play it ;)

Italmelodie is definitely on my stop list this weekend! I haven't had the chance to try the beast yet. I bought my ES8 there and I didn't went back since a while, but I am in in very good term with Rodriguo! I shouldn't have any problem to sit there for an hour and play it.

Hey I want that one!!!!!!! NOW !!!!!!
And yeah at Italmelodie in MTL they have one and I played on it few minutes. A GREAT machine. $8,999 +txs CAN but because i bought a Motif ES8, the seller told me that I could have a VERY better price than it... I have now to sell my Motif and find 6000$.... lol

Too good how?

I mean the starting price was too low to be realistic, IMHO...

But as someone else pointed out and as I fully suspect, the price will rocket skyhigh if the last 3.1415927 nanoseconds...

get an auction sniper and put your final price in it

On stuff I want I bid in the last 7 seconds before an auction finishes

Even with the cash, I won't go for an OASYS, it always used to be my dream synth 10 years back, but it is simply too heavy to carry around, unless a userfriendly rack version appears one day, I will never ever consider buying it, no matter how cheap it would be ... my 2 cents ...

No explanations given. Search this forum about OASYS, you'll find out ...
