Is there a Synth Zone member that lives close to Rescue, CA..

Would you be willing to pick up this organ and ship to me if I purchased ..

You would need to box the unit..I would arrange UPS for pick up from your location...

If you've heard an XK-1, you are not going to be happy with this one, Fran... Your G70 probably sounds as good. No MIDI, so you can't even control your G70 from it...

Plus, you are going to lose AT LEAST the freight when you sell

Diki, I am thinking about it as a collector's item..I sold a VK-1 for 20 times what I had in it..The VK-9 and VK-6 are more likely to bring a good return...

It appears to be pristine....

No, I do not want it to play..

Phew... had me worried!

Guess it just goes to show... It doesn't matter HOW much of a dog anything is in today's terms. SOMEONE wants to pay more than it's worth!

Since I am heading for my shore gig in a half hour...and no one has responded to my request to pick this organ up and ship it to me [for a fee]...I am forced to pass [not bid]....It will probably sell for under $800..and I believe in the right market..to be worth more than 2 grand [$2,000]..

The auction ends in 6 hours..I will be going for 9 hours...

Maybe a Ca synth zoner should consider a stab at it...I think it will return a profit..

I would dare to say..not a single person here even knew Roland made this VK-6...not even you Dave...so how can you know what it is really worth?...

Besides I am a risk taker..
