hey guys, found a "cheap" K5 on ebay... :D if anyone's interested... :D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawai-K5-Vintage-Additiv-Digital-Synthesizer-Keyboard-/250876079064 but, seriously, are they high or what? F. ------------------------------------
of course a mint unit may be worth more... but if a decent unit is around 100 (be it $ or , the difference is low), how can a mint unit be worth 7 times more? non-sense to me...

corrections: -it's actually 8 times more -the unit for sale is NOT mint, if you take a closer look to the (poor) picture provided... --- In k5synth@..., "somethingkillingyou" <somethingkillingyou <at> ...> wrote: > > of course a mint unit may be worth more... but if a decent unit is around 100 (be it $ or , the difference is low), how can a mint unit be worth 7 times more? non-sense to me... > > F. > > --- In k5synth@..., Eric Friedly <ejfriedly <at> > wrote: > > > > True.

TBS has always been high priced. They are a shop/reseller so higher prices than on the second hand market is expected. Though, eight times higher......hmmm.

it's not THAT rare... K3 are much rarer, at least in this part of the world (europe) --- In k5synth@..., Eric Friedly <ejfriedly <at> ...> wrote: > > Sometimes people are willing to pay more for a less then perfect kb if it's rare. > > > > ________________________________ > From: somethingkillingyou <somethingkillingyou <at> ...> > To: k5synth@... > Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 6:23 PM > Subject: [k5synth] Re: ...are they for real? > > >  > of course a mint unit may be worth more... but if a decent unit is around 100 (be it $ or â¬, the difference is low), how can a mint unit be worth 7 times more? non-sense to me... > > F. > > --- In k5synth@..., Eric Friedly <ejfriedly <at> > wrote: > > > > True.
