I just received an email from the seller. He told me he had a friend bid on it because he couldn't sell it. ($2,135.00) He was very rude. I think he might be about 16 years old, so it must be Mom and Dad's money. He said that he originally sold it to someone in England but didn't explain why it was re-auctioned. It is now on Craigslist. BEWARE!!! Something smells real bad about this. It also looks very piece-of-shit-like to me.
PS. If anyone wants Mike Pinder's name on the cabinet lid of their Mellotron, send it to that guy. I'm sure he can crank them out.
