Hot items usually do not have to be listed for sale on Ebay..

Haven't you played one yet?..

Then you can answer your own question...

Yep, it's so darned hot they can't seem to sell them in their stores so they put them on Ebay.

Hi Guy`s

Sorry about that , I posted the link because I was surfing eBay and there were like 35 or 40 all starting at 100 bucks !

The description stated that they were "studio demos" ???

I just checked and now the are all gone , very weird

O-well !

No still have not tried one , I guess , I might see what happens after March , see if Yamaha rolls anything out of
http://musik.messefrankfurt.com/global/en/home.html

If not I`ll might wait or just go for the E-80 , or whatever.

I don`t think Roland will have a new arranger this year , but Yamaha will , I think.

Where I would buy for home use , I must make the right choice . if I was giging , like most of you then cost and KB would not matter as much , but whatever I end up with , I plan to keep for sometime , so that is whats taking me forever to decide.

Take care , thanks !

best wishes

Actually the retail ofers are just paid sponser ads. It seems that the PA800 has taken the place of the Tyros II for scammers. Not too long ago there were the same numerous ads for the Tyros that were actually scammers: http://reviews.ebay.com/Yamaha-Tyros-SCAMS-Electronic-keyboard-buying-guide_W0QQugidZ10000000001470696?ssPageName=BUYGD:CAT:-1:SEARCH:1
Ciao,

P.S. Fran,Yes,I've had the PA800 for about a year. Got the first one in the Philly area from Benny C.

Yep, I did Fran, for about 20 minutes--that was all it took for me to walk away. Some things just don't turn me on--this was one of them.

Yo Fran,
I have the Midjay too. Some of the things I do require only the midi accordion and module. For some gigs I midi the accordion to the PA800 and for others I just use the PA800. Ultimatly, I'd like to build a keytar-like strap on controller with bass buttons like the old Baldoni Midi-Accord, and play it through a PA800M or PA2XM (module). By the time Korg offers a PA based module, I should have my accordkeytar controller finished.
Ciao,
Jerry
