This is a beauty http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330587270737

Read it carefully, thats not £60 for a Boss DR110, thats £60 for the carry case for a Boss DR110!

and yet people seem to pay that much mone,y so some people must assume its worth that much for some reason.

this VSS200 on the other hand. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290600267652

Not only is it ULTRA RARE! but apparently its in 'PRESTIGE CONDITION'

Thats worth £70 of anyones money

Matt the Modulator · August 17, 2011, 05:46:31 PM

seems a korg dd1 in full working condition has just sold for under £42 ! that's a bargain !

ps
vss200 definitely worth 70 quid

Ok, now i know Technology Transplant wnet through a period of being a bit unreliable and it was a bit hit and miss getting replacement analogue parts for a while, but this is just insane!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290598440207

Thats $149/£89 for a blue SH101 battery door! It even says on the listing that its made by technology transplant, so you can go over to the TT site and find exactly the same thing for $14.99.

I can't help wondering if someone has a blind spot for decimal points

Well, I just impulse bought a VSS200 from a Cash Converters in town for £50.
Couldn't resist... might be years before I find one for a quid at a boot fair!

Will be a while before I open it up, but having great fun with it already

It could be worse:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400209207837 - £202
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290604888185 - £140
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130569113282 - £149

Honestly, its insanity! One cretin thinks they might get lucky and puts a VSS200 up on ebay for £202. Then a load of other people come along who have a VSS200, they see that auction and think 'wow, look how much these things are selling for' and they list their VSS for £50 less thinking that means it'll go quickly. None of them seem to realise that people may be trying to sell them for that much, but NOBODY IS BUYING!
