I see a Tyros on sale this morning for $100...

I place a nominally higher bid to see what happens...

The seller's ID is fisher_tom00

Any experience with this seller? He's got several expensive keyboards and other items for sale as well at this crazy pricing point.

Any info appreicated...

Bill in Dayton

Is that $100 the "buy it now" price or "starting bid" price?

Squeak-

"Starting Bid"

This seller is an unregistered seller...

Is this something I should withdraw my bid from or is it safe to watch things unfold?

hi bill,i just checked ebay,do a search on clavinovas ,he has a few of them for sale,to me it looks like he is a dealer,so i don,t think you will get it for a low price,yep checked again he has 64 items for sale,if you click on ,view (sellers other items) you will see for yourself,also look here ,that is of coarse providing we are talking about the same ad[URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=85860&item=8173874321&rd=1,,,,mike

Bill, can you post a link. Also check out his contact email at the top. Sometimes if they are dealers that contact email contains the business name. Nardoni may be right in that he's possibly a dealer.

Bill, I checked out the auction. I also looked at his other items. This guy has to be dealer. If you look at some of the pics, they appear to be on a showroom floor. It could be an auction house too Possibly equipment from estate auctions.

It's a SCAM IMHO..look for the payment method
I'd go with the other one for $1,000, he will take Pay-pal and other payment methods
these guy love to scam on these keyboards...I've been following them since Oct of last year....I have bidded on them, won and never heard from the seller...it says to ask him questions....ask if you can put everything into escrow after the sale to make sure it's legit and see what he says, if he even answers....I have also bidded on these types befor only to have e-bay stop the auction because it was a fraud...if you like, I can send you some other information that I have collected....

I retracted the bid...

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is...

See what happens when I try thinking before I've had my morning coffee?

Hi Bill:
Tony is Right: This auction looks like the usual scam. Buyer unregistered, No Feedback,
Just joined Ebay yesterday. Method of Payment.
The real kicker is where he lives. Nobody
lives in Ponca Okla. Send him an email saying
you live a few miles from Ponca and would
love to see the Tyros - bet you dont' get an
answer. Also ask him to send you the Seriel
# of Tyros - It's on outside of box so he
doesn't even need to open it.
Looked at his other items for sale. No
Dealer has a stock like this.
I have reported many of these scams to
Ebay (as have others). They are removed,
but pop up again under different names.
Another thing you can do is email him
for a Buy Now Price. Bet you he offers
the Tyros for some crazy low price.
I, of course can be wrong, but I'll
bet my wifes life on it !!!

Just thought I should apologize to the
people of Ponca Oklahoma, as there are over
30,000 good people living there. That does
not change my mind about the sale being a scam.
