if someone doesn't pull the plug on them first. Sometimes an auction 
like that one disappears between your first look and second. Who but a 
scam artist would sell a Roland kit, or any kit, at such a loss? 
Either ignore them, ask them a pointed question to be answered on 
site, or report them to ebay. The first big ebay scam that I remember 
were the crooks in Romania selling plasmas at about an 80% discount, 
accepting only money orders or wire transfers. Shockingly, enough 
people took them up on it that the crime became a minor cause celebre. 
I was in the market for a plasma five years ago and ran across a site 
selling the great Panasonics and NECs for practically nothing. I sent 
an email to the "company" in hard language, and the next thing I knew 
the site was gone. I may not have been responsible, but it felt good, 
anyway.

Hey, Stuart, how are you? Long time.
