Yes it was someone called Greg and I’m afraid my answer to his offer was rather curt. I often wonder if people automatically assume you are desperate for cash when you try to sell on eBay? Anyway the offer was dismissed I think he has bought one from me before but through John Carling and that was for a lot more money!

For the buyer - the customs charges are paid but there’s a handling fee by the broker, it tends to cost about twice as much as normal customs charges would be however they do go through quicker.

I got the FS version and the key bed was not worth the extra £500, I sold it straight away and intend to get the module version.

I bought a Moog Rogue secondhand in1986 from Dawson’s Music in Burnley for £150 - we also bought a Korg CX organ from Chase in Manchester for £250. The much gigged, sampled and recorded Moog broke down in 2010 and I sold it for spares for £350, the Korg is still going strong though we use a Nord now. I’m still looking for a replacement Rogue but the Subphatty has a similar richness to it though the smaller keyboard lets it down. I also bought two Korg Micropresets for £30 each from Dawson’s in 1986, not quite as cool as the Rogue but still useful little synths. Everyone wanted a DX7 in the 80s but we were skint and had to go with cheaper synths and analogue was what we could afford. The only dud we had was a Korg Delta poly synth that was totally unreliable and half way through gigs would generally pack up and sound like a load of car horns!

Yes it is mine and it didn’t sell - I had interest but from overseas and some very low ball offers too so I’ll probably hang on to it as it’s something I doubt I’ll see again. I would’ve listed it on here first but thought I’d best not due to being similar to the unmentionable. A stateside JB collector wanted to bid but I don’t like sending things overseas when using eBay and also their global shipping option is a complete con!

Another deal done - great to trade with as ever! Thank you Alain
