Starkeeper,
Did you pay him yet, or is this a "pay" upon delivery deal?

Squeak

It's a cash deal.
1) I want to open the unopened box
2) Pull out the keyboard
3) Give it a 30 second test.
If all is good. It's a done deal. He gets the cash and I get a PSR1500 at almost 1/2 price.
Starkeeper

Sounds good! Look forward to your review.

Squeak

Starkeeper, did you get it yet?

Hahaha. LOL. Trident you are consistent.
I gave the guy my tel # (he asked for it). He called me last night and said he would be over in 45 minutes... Never showed up!!! No email from him this morning either. I will give him one more chance. If he doesn't show up, the deal is off.
If a person has integrity, they do what they say their going to do.

LOL Starkeeper, I am a salesman, what you expect me to be?

Honestly, I found it rather amusing that a Greek saw something at UK ebay, told an american message board, and then a guy in West Virginia posted a message for a Canadian to take notice.
It shows the good side of the internet.

As for the guy, his behaviour isn't the best of things, but he may have some things concerning him, or second thoughts, or whatever. My advice, since you would like to have the keyboard (if everything is ok with it), apply some pressure. Arrange a meeting in his house. Don't wait for him to call.

I hope it turns out ok, so I'll get my review!

PS did you actually meant "persistent"?
I wanted to know what happened, so what did I do? I applied a little pressure on you. It worked!!!!!
"Those who don't ask questions will never get an answer, those who don't ask for things will never get a thing".

I don't know man... His actions are questionable to me. You won the auction and now he's dragging his feet on getting it to you. Sounds like a scam to me. Possibly he didn't anticipate someone who lives close to him taking high bid on the auction. I'm beginning to wonder if his intentions are honorable.

Dear Squeak;


One more thing to keep in mind. If you either make it to his house, or he comes to your house, make sure you check the serial number and call yamaha to verify who it was sold to. The reason I state this is that it may be a stolen piece. In which case if the transaction goes through, and police approach you they will take the keyboard, and you will lose your money. Also make sure you have someone with you when he either comes to your house or you go to his house(or he may suggest a meeting place). You don't want to be jumped by gooons who will abscond with your money.

SCP, Squeak,
I thought of this too, but didn't want to comment on that, maybe too frightened to.
Anyway, If like I said, Starkeeper puts a little pressure, he'll probably get an answer sooner. Or if he gets NO answer, it is an answer all the same.

I like these conspiracy theories, we may go on talking like that for ever, and finally we realise the guy had the flu or something!.
LOL

Hahaha. LOL. and why would a guy living in Canada post on a UK site. I will take your advice, Trident, and send him an email. Got to keep this post alive.
