Re: [motm] eBay madness

You guys need to lighten up a little. Some of us could not afford huge
MOOG system or ARP 2600s back then and PAIA was about one of the only
options we had to get into music synthesis. I realize the PAIA is not
of the same quality or even on the same level as the MOTM, and I know
all about "brand loyalty". But if the guy can get the price, more power
to him.

I have a 7 foot tall rack of mostly MOTM, some Oakley, EFM, and Encore
stuff. That thing looks VERY!! intimidating to the inexperienced (which
is partly why I like it so much). So, I understand why this obviously
Newby person might want to try something a little less scary to start
with.

This just proves all the advertising lingo: "sell the sizzle, not the
steak", and "people in America will buy ANYTHING!" I am really glad E-bay
exixts. It gives me hope that I won't have to discount my stuff if I
ever get ready to sell any of it.
