OT - Akai IB-4ADT board

There's one on ebay from Japan for 198 + 15 shipping

OR should I buy from VST for considerably more $$$. I'm in the US and am concerned about buying this from someone I don't know (and with only 9 feedbacks) from Japan

Advice???

The guy sent a 303 to Australia just recently and that went ok.

If i were you I'd buy it quickly before I or someone else reading this does! Paypal offers protection.

No risk= no reward!

Only 9 feedbacks? We all gotta start somehow....I've dealt with people with 100's and 1000's of feedbacks, it doesnt really make much difference. Some fall way short of expectations.

I prefer to have 'dialog' with the seller prior to making bids on expensive or international items, just to check their talk.

I don't know? Seems like it's too much of a risk to me. For 'bout $90 bucks more you can order a new one from Sam Ash, and have a little more piece of mind along with it.

Well I went the ebay route... I'll repost when I receive the ADAT board. Hopefully with good news!

Thanks 4 your input - My 4K will finally be maxed out!!!

I received my IB-4ADT board for my MPC4000 today. Japan to USA in 4 days - sweet!!!!

I recommend this seller if you need 4000 option boards... don't know how many they still have though.

Thanks for letting us know! I just ordere my ADAT expansion. Which means my Analog outs are on the market! (PM me if your interested!)

I just got in! I paid 220 (including shipping) and some 41 euro's for customs / tax...so that's about 170 Euro...and it's new and boxed. Buying it at a shop (if they still have them) will cost you about double!

Origato for the tip!
