Yeah, absolutely ridiculous as are his other OB-8 parts. I just sold the same board, tested and working for $75 which I considered a fair price...

just a terrible listing all the way around


- "jupiter 8 alternative"
- all the pictures are backwards (huh, what?)
- what looks like a big melty / blemishy spot by the bender & sliders that is not described in the listing
- "one key needs more pressure to make sound"
- copy/paste listing
- recent negative feedback

^and all that nets a higher than average price :roll:

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Very honest starting price, just charmed by the "Very Rare and Hard to Find" description 8-)

Absolutely ridiculous.

Feel like I'm picking on him, however, same seller:

D-50 - not a mothership, but still a hefty price: $1350

No idea what an S3 usually goes for, assuming this is high though:

You'd be lucky to get $100USD for one.
