You have to like this phrase in the 2nd listing: "do not email with offers or questions that have been answered by this description." Not wanting offers outside eBay, I understand, but I think it's a little harsh to thwart questions, even repeat questions, when you're selling a 30+ year old vintage synth for $10,000+. Sometimes you can tell a lot about an eBayer by the tone of their listing...
Also, FWIW, I find it advantageous to communicate with other eBay users using eBay's messaging system and I'm wary of sellers who encourage users to e-mail them privately (i.e. outside of eBay). When you use eBay's messaging system, you still receive e-mails but there's also a record of the communications stored by eBay if anything goes wrong.
