That's the 2nd Jen in the last couple of months I've seen being offered at that price. The previous one I saw went for £450ish, maybe that influenced the price of this one.

2600$ for a Korg Mono/poly all over ebay. Seems way too high for me...

I got 1400 for mine recently. That seems more like the fair price.

so I say one person from the forum lists their hmmmm we'll go with poly 61. Another person buys it for 10% over FMV. That person sells it to someone else from the forum for 10% and so on. And then all of us with poly 61s will be able to sell them for retarded money!
This synth price ridiculousness has got to stop. Well screw-me-sideways I thought no one had jobs or any money to spend?

so you're agreeing with me that we should all sell our synths to each other on ebay for ridiculous prices? :)

dumbass now has one up for $500 as well as that other for $800.
they're still available direct from future retro for $750, and regardless why the h**l would anyone place a bid on one priced that much higher than the other? they'd have to be shopping wasted.
:facepalm:
