So I will give it a go and specify "Buyer pays shipping". Last board I sold was an S910 but it was a while ago and I remember the shock when I got my "final value" tabulated...

Wish me luck and thanks for the input!


Hi Randy,
Yes, I live in an area now, where I don’t think too many people have arranger keyboards.
3 hours from a major city now, used to be 5 minutes to get to the music store.
Oh, the good old days .I used to just about live in that shop, they gave me a part time job, just so I’d go home once in a while. Haha

Yes the fees by the time you pay eBay and PayPal can be horrendous, but not many other options if you don’t live in an area where people buy them. Just check for those freebie or cheap type listing days, unless they don’t do them in the US.

Meanwhile, so far so good, sold my keyboard the other day, and the guy wants to pick it up
rather than posting, he’s happy to drive the 3 hrs up and back. I feel a bit more comfortable too not having to post, though I’m pretty sure our postal service would do a good job.

Discovered our couriers won’t carry second hand goods , and that they only insure up to $1500. Don’t know if that is industry wide or just some of them around here. That gave me a shock as I’d already placed the advert.
Thank goodness for postal service , even though the box would have been an inch bigger than the max. allowed, they were more concerned about the weight , which was well under limit, so they would have taken it.

Gee, stress we go thru for our new toys. Haha
