I would never pay $400 for ANY keyboard. That's just a plain rip-off.

I think this guy is from the late 60's.  Woodstock was probably the best day of his life.  If anyone buys this board, I would check it for weed.

"Get your blue sliders..."  You just reminded me of these other (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290377726143&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) blue sliders, but I'm not sure though as I've no knowledge of these KBDs.
So when not sure, I look elsewhere.

Anyone's got problems if a bunch of mud and drugs was the best day of their life.

Exactly my point.  This guy must have been high when he decided to try and sell that board for $400.

They look like the same switches... Seller is a good guy, so I don't think he's pulling a fast one.

I'm not saying the seller isn't trust-worthy, I've purchased from him in the past, extremely prompt with excellent communication. I'm just not sure of the KBD itself .:happy:

You should tell him that the keyboard isn't worth $400.

I would like that keyboard if it was selling for $50.
