looks like a scam, you might want to tell that person to take a picture of the mpc with a paper next to it with his ebay username written , i've seen those pics on some auction before, even better see if you can do a pickup and pay in person since you're in berlin as well .

i think that's the link to the MPC the OP is selling on Ebay, i think he's looking for feedback on the price he's selling it for
i dunno

yeah thats right.
feedback for the price. do you think its okay?? Is it that good, that you even think of a scam?

its not a scam. I just cant get the whole thing out of the 4000. thats why I sell it. I could proof it, if I knew how. The MPC is real and the aution as well.
Hope you understand my english.

By the way it is the ebay account of me and my family, thats why there are so much other useless-stuff-auctions in my ebay-history. pleas believe. i could make some records for proof. even video records if you are satisfied.
Just let me know if the price seems fair to to you.

By the way its a MPC4000Plus with over 10GB of Samplestuff for 2000€

If you mean the brand new ones in their catalogue, they've not had any for a couple of years despite advertising them...

Bought mine on e-bay for $1600 US.....you're way high. IT is indeed out of production, but it's not a "classic" piece of gear by a long shot. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but if mine went down and I couldn't find a replacement cheap, I'd switch to something else...

what does all this shyt mean
Versuche auf diesem Wege einen neuen Besitzer für die 4k zu finden. Sie hat in Produktionen immer gute Dienste geleistet, nur werde ich mit dem MPC-Konzept nicht glücklich. Habe sie mir damals völlig übereilt geholt und denke schon länger darüber nach, dass die MPC in anderen Händen einfach bessere Dienste leisten kann. Die Samplebibliothek wurde über Jahre auf der MPC angesammelt, d.h. es sind reichlich (mehr als 10 GB) Samples und auch Songs/Sequenzen bereits auf der Festplatte. Mit viel Glück ergattert man noch neue
