There's been a couple of DTXREME kits for sale on eBay over the last month.
The first one closed out a little over $2000. The second one, just last week, was going for a rediculously low price. However, they had no history, no payment type, and virtually no information on the their bid page. I wrote to them, I got no answer back. That's some serious red flags. Yet people still put bids on it !
Bottom line, if it looks too good to be true, it problably is. Don't buy a big ticket item unless the seller can back it up with history, communication, PayPay+, etc.

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.
