Re: [kawai-teisco] Looking for an SX-240

2008-11-13 by Antoine DeschĂȘnes

Hi Frank,

It took almost 6 months for a single one to show up on eBay. By the
way, for the others reading, I won the auction at $320 USD. (The
seller is still trying to figure out how to ship it to Canada
though...) It's going to cost me over $550 CAD with shipping and the
POOR exchange rate falling down every days probably though. (A month
earlier I would have saved $100...)

It's missing knobs, the condition is not awesome, has one note needing
to be fixed and the battery leaked, so it will obviously need repair.
A synth with a good battery, every switches working and no missing
knob would sell for much more than $400 I think.

Someone subscribing and posting here a few weeks before me got about 3
offers when he looked for one (Thanks to him, we_are_computron, for
posting the eBay item number last week), but I guess everyone jumped
on the offer as they were all sold, and not a single offer has showed
up online between July and last week.

Actively look on eBay, hoping one will show up, as Want-It-Now posts
simply do not work, you get spammed with people trying to sell you
iPods.
