I use to go to Ponca City once a year, for a high school band competition.
But this looks like a scam to me. Ask for a phone number so you can call him.

Scamm!!!!!!!!!
I buy and sell on Ebay, and after checking thru his listings, This is a deffinate Scam and not very well instigated either.

User name suggests inexperenced grab a name for quick signup bettin his name is tom and fisher is showing his sense of humor.


First listing multiple involving thousands of dollars
Unregistered
no-feedback
lots of items to suggest being legit
pictures taken from everwhere
top wanted items all in a group
redictulous starting prices on short auction
no reserve
only photographed items that is loaded with extras
no shipping info
no payment info
(The givaway to red flag this) all the auctions ends at the same time allows scammer to collect the money and scoot post haste.
This is just my opinion, Either scam or the dumbest ebayer ever to get on Ebay.
Pose

ps emailed him and asked to come and take a look from a town close by, I don't think he'll answer me, been a couple of hours so far..

Dear Fellows;

I remember that auction from a couple of weeks ago. But the seller was situated from a differnt location. The pictures are exactly the same. Maybe he has a twin brother, with an identical keyboard?

Dear SZ memebers;


I just looked at the sellers other adds. He has listed a Korg Pa1xpro, which has been listed over the past couple of weeks on 2 other occasions. The last location for the Korg was from Texas. Again with the exact same pictures. Nice Sante Fee style couch.


Regards;
BN

As I stated....I follow the Yamaha keyboard auctions almost every day just to flush out the scum...I can't tell you how many I have exposed....I bid a ridicules bid so no one else get hurt...I win the bid and don't contact the seller...I never hear from them and no bad feedback....some times I hear from them in a seperate e-mail saying that I can have a second chance to buy, I then send the e-mail over to the E-bay boys for action
I have a folder full of them....You will find a lot of them from Canada and the UK....
no offence to the good guys from either place

Ebay might have removed his auction but he
is still operating. At present I am corresponding with him about the Tyros. He
now claims to be a dealer in England - what
happened to Ponca, Okla ? Anyway he has asked
me for my best offer and I have emailed him back stating it was up to him to set price.
Will let you know if I hear from him again.
He also said he will pay all shipping costs
including insurance and duty taxes - do you
believe in Santa Claus ?? Will only accept a wire transfer of money.

Wow what a complete jerk! To bad you can't send a online kick in the a** to someone. When this guy responds back to you report him to ebay and let them know about the previous ad of his they removed and that he's back.
