Because they are the only place on the planet with a synth market where 
you can buy/sell to any advantage.  I seldom find broken pieces anywhere 
else that I can repair.  And when I get them repaired I seldom get hits 
from my website or craig's.  So historically that's how I've done it but 
I'm hoping if this is going on that it gets resolved like I say and 
there are proceedings.  I'd like to see people diversify so there is 
some competition to keep sites honest more.  Ebay is just over the top 
in their 9% plus 3% for paypal = 12% they're making on auctions under 
600 or whatever.
