More tidbits: In the auction it gives Jackson, Michigan USA as the location. Their answer states they are in Madrid, Spain. It also gives the buy it now at $1250. In my email the buy it now is $1550. Hmmmmmm. Does it seem like a slight discrepency here?

I'm thinking they may need to be reported to ebay.

Here's my original email to them with their answer:

Hi,
Before any bidding takes place you must know that I
am currently in
Madrid, Spain where me and my partner supplied
capital for the purchase
of a bankrupt store stock. Now we are trying to
sell the remaining stock. The buy now price would be $1550. This is preaproved auction,that
means that you are not allowed to bid or buy the
item until payment is confirmed. I have preffered this special type of auction because of the
multiple problems I've had in the past with
non-paying bidders.
The units are brand new still in their original
package factory sealed.
They ship with all the accessories provided by the
manufacturer and have international warranty . All the manuals and the original
documentation are in English language.
As soon as we agree upon the trasaction terms I
will make the S&H arrangements and schedule a pickup with DHL. You will receive your package in 4 working days at most. We ship all packages having written
on them "display unit, no comercial value" or as a
gift so you don't have to pay any additional taxes like customs or dutys.
As a payment method we have chosen WesternUnion's
services because they always served our interests in a professional manner and helped us
gain buyers. We consider promptitude a vital
condition on the modern eCommerce markets and a guarantee of quality. Here are the main
advantages WesternUnion provides over other payment

Hello

So, if this is Brand new Tyros, then you must be an authorized Yamaha dealer, and comes with full warranty?
Does everything in the picture come with it? As in the speakers, and the keyboard stand? What's the deal with this price? Is there something wrong with it?
Inquiring minds want to know. Thanx Scott
