Sorry Chris, but a non-functional synth can't be considered to be in "mint"
condition. The term "mint condition" originally referred to the condition of a
coin, being just as it was at the mint that originally stamped it. To carry
this analogy over to a synth, you couldn't say that a synth which worked at the
factory, but now doesn't, is in mint condition. It's simply not true.

Cosmetically perfect it might be, but it isn't in mint condition. Sorry.

If you don't manage to sell it in this current auction, perhaps you should have
it properly repaired. You could attract a lot more interest from the general
public, if the unit were fully functional. You might even get away with saying
it was in mint condition at that point.  :)


take care,
Glen
