well there are two possiblites about the US Mail. Either they can not track it or they are un-willing to track it. A friend of mine told me then can but siad it is too time consumeing and most postal clerks would rather not bother. The number I have is an RR number which is only there for scanning not tracking. If I wanted a tracking number I would have paid for it. But the gentleman said that the Post office in Israel has not method for doing tracking. Not advanced enough I guess.

Yes he has responed too my emails and no it was not a check but cash instead. As for refund I am not sure yet. I emailed him recently and still waiting for a reply.

Ebay can not do anyhting if the transaction takes place outside of the confines of ebay. The Auction was back in January with a starting bid of $1.00. The reason why he canceld the auction was too many people with negative feedback. Who did not bother to email him that they had negative feedback. Which he had clearly stated in the auction. "Peolpe with negative feed back email me before placeing a bid" It was a day latter that he canceled it. It was not until February that he eamiled me and asked If I would be interested in it, and I said yes. We worekd out a deal and agreed on a price of $350.00 Which I thought was pretty good. So I wired him the money and the folowing day he shipped it out. Even sent me an email with the RR number. Of course the post office can not track it on there system, somethin about regeistered mail being non exsitent. I was told that sometimes it takes a while for mail form oversease to be delivered.


Plus he's not the type of person too lie especialy with a feedback rateing of 150 plus a tourquoise star on ebay. I'm still convinced that it maybe tied up in customs but then I have no way of knowing that.

800dv this is the US Mail we are talking about. Not UPS of FEDEX, but the mail. They do not give tracking numbers and they cannot track an RR number. Neither can the Israeli post office. If you want a tracking number it has to be purchased sperately. TH RR number is only a sacnning numbe for when the package is picked up for it's trip to the next postal truck or plane.


He canceld the auction and it was not $350.00. He gave me that price long after the auction was cancled and I was willing to pay it.

BTW why can't a minimoog cost $350.00. Mark Vail in his book Vintage Synthesizser list them between $300.00 and $1,000. I bought an ARP AXXE for $250.00 and an Omni for $150.00. I have even seen a minimoog go for $800.00 in a music store, even a micro for $400.00. I think it all depends on where you live and how much in demand these thing are. I have seen a Roland Juno-106 for $450.00. And a Juno-60 for $250.00. I have even come across digital synths for under $500.00. I had even bought a DX7IIFD for $500.00 and even had bought a Mirage DSK for $150.00. Only becuse I traded in the DX7IIFD for it. But did sell the mirage too. Only becuse I was not happy with it.


The only way I would be out $350.00 is if by May it is not here and he will not refund my money. That is how I would be out $350.00. I appologize if I did not make this clear earlier.

Ther is still the possiblity that it may turn up. But I am not holding my breath.
