Markyboard Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 It does however appears to include extra "sharps". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg22 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think it should be fine - the description says it still works, but I would pay half the price they are asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
churchkeybob Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm in the camp of, buy it and fix it if you're handy with fixing things. Just know the risk involved. Make sure it's cheap enough to take that risk. I bought my Kurz pc3-8le four years ago with huge risk in that it was advertised as not working. I bumped the dent out of the front, the two stuck keys came back up and It's worked fine ever since. Risky, yes, but it sure was cheap. Like 15% of what they were going for at the time. ~BOB I'm practicing so that people can maybe go "wow" at an imaginary gig I'll never play. -Nadroj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real MC Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm in the camp of, buy it and fix it if you're handy with fixing things. I've been handy at fixing things for 30+ years. I know the threshold when something is not worth fixing. Like I said, steer clear of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wright Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 At that price, you should be able to easily find a suitable, used and undamaged instrument.

Doerfler Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 steer clear of it. agreed. Anything that took that hard of a hit to cause that much damage to the case and keys had to have sustained damage that can't be seen elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary75 Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 They sell a lot of damaged gear, they are a major music retailer in the UK. Thing is I have not seen any other major retailer do this so it's either because they have far better transportation methods or dispose of damaged gear in other ways not seen by the public. I'll give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickd Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Agreed, way too expensive - you can get a new one with warranty for £479. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that took that hard of a hit to cause that much damage to the case and keys had to have sustained damage that can't be seen elsewhere. +1 I, too routinely have bought & repaired items over the year. It is critical to buy repairable things at a low enough cost to be at a "break-even" point should you ultimately have to part it out. The asking price here is too high to justify this purchase, IMHO. ---------------------------------------------------------- Gig: Yamaha MODX7, NumaX 73 Piano Studio: Kawai ES-920; Hammond SK Pro 73; Yamaha Motif ES7 w/DX,VL,VH; Yamaha YC 73; Kawai MP-6; Numa Compact 2x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary75 Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 I was never going to offer the asking price, it'd be worth no more than £100 really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
