Ridiculous eBay 'Buy-it-now' and starting bids.

[silikon]

Are these things REALLY going for these rates these days? c**p, just seems like a month or so ago I could find them around 8-900 dollars all 'dolled up'...

3 SCI ProOnes for around $1500 each

Appearantly so. If you look at completed listings, a working ProOne sold for $1400 after shipping and a non-working/for parts ProOne sold for $800.

Yes, the prices keep going up. Buy vintage synths NOW.

Well buy them now if you want to pay a lot... Or give it a month (or 3) and I'm sure they'll be back to the sub-$1000 range. People can ask what they want for anything on ebay, but until it sells for that much (which none of those 3 have yet), it's not worth that much. Even though the overall trend is for prices going up, Pro-1s, sh-101s and similar common synths are so flavor of the month - they go "in" and "out" all the time - that speculating on prices based on recent (i.e. one) ebay sales is fairly futile.

ruff i am literally saving that text & quoting you on it. & hoping you're right.



edit:

[garranimal]

I was just thinking, all these posts really necessary? Sellers w/ high price AND 'make offer' are obviously screening deadbeat bidders.

[space6oy]

not all the posts in this thread are examples of ridiculous prices, but enough are that it's amusing, i'd say.

[Sir Ruff]

hoping you're right.

me too!

But in the meantime, I've got a great example of j-wire Pro-1 which has been totally re-bushed and lubed up that I'll let go for $1500

[space6oy]

trade you my mono/poly for it.

[space6oy]

Wha? I thumbed my search and this popped up. Can you imagine? Says location in Nashville...probably Billy Ray Cyrus's or some other cuntree-sanger hack with too much money.

Has not been out of case for 20 yrs...yet he knows its worth 9k?

actually he's had the case since he got the synth 20 years ago but it's the past 5 in which he hasn't taken it out.

Not even sure where to begin with this one.

The shipping seems to be quite reasonable.
