Re: Strange auction ...

I'm surprised people are actually bidding on this - does anyone know what exactly they're 
getting? Most of the pictures and replies are incorrect and very (intentionally?) misleading. 
He bothered to buy a Fairlight but now conveniently claims he doesn't know anything 
about it, he "accidentally" put up the wrong pictures, etc. Classic dishonest ebay junk seller 
tactics.

I suspect these pieces could be scavenged (junk) leftover spare parts.The seller makes no 
claims it powers up or that there's any cards inside! Those thinking of buying this for 
spares may be disappointed.
