Sketchy or Legit?

Bundle isn't for me, but my girlfriend. She's been thru a lot in the past couple months, and she's in a bad state of mind right now, so I wanted to get her this to cheer her up, b/c it's nearly exactly what she was trying to save up for. (MPC5000, headphones, and Monitors)

Examine this for me.
http://cgi.ebay.com/AKAI-MPC5000-MPC-50 ... 1|294%3A50

Does that sound sketchy or legit? Will I be getting screwed over with refurbished products? I'd rather not surprise her with a gift that, in the end, needs to be returned, leaving her in a worse mood, if yall feel me. -.-
New to this, so if it wasn't supposed to be a surprise I'd have her come on here and explain, but that just isn't the case.

Help is appreciated,
Thnkx.

Yeah right! You damn well know you're buying that MPC for yourself! Stop being selfish and get that girl some new shoes and a ring! Hell, she's been through alot, why not buy her a brand new MPC you cheap fuk!

This looks like a great deal. MPC 5000, headphones, decent mics w/ cables are advertised as new and the bx8a monitors are refurbished. As long as they stick by their product (meaning a warranty of some sort) then i think you will be fine. Hell, half of my gear is used or refurbished. I know cats that have paid over $2200 just for the mpc5000 alone. This looks like a nice starter package for your girlfriend. Just pay w/ paypal so your purchase is backed up if anything goes wrong.

yeah and the mics are a bonus since they can go for around 100 bucks a piece...

and those mics are pretty versatile too. I dont know anything about those monitors... but who cares since the price is right.

You're going to tell me what's up?
As I've already said it's NOT for me, and i'm confused, isn't this one Brand New?

Yeh, i'm a frequent PayPal user, so this should go well. Thanks a lot.

Hmm, I'm not sure if she needs microphones, but hell, if it comes free, I don't think she'll complain too much.

Refurbished means it was used and abused before, but they cleaned it and put new parts to make it look new. So its not factory-shipped brand new.

and it means it was tested

Oh, so they should work well then?
Also, how big is this machine?
Is there a stand/mount for them, or do I just have to find space?

it's about the size of a vcr

shit dude, i wish i had a girl that made beats!

i would go for it too, looks legit.

Pro Audio Star is a legit company, ontop of that they use paypal, which insures your purchase. i wanted that same deal.

Pro AudioStar is definitely Legit! I got my 2500 from them a month ago. Talked him down to $1175 And got a $300 Rebate from Akai for purchasing it in the month of April. I was a lil skeptical too. But the package was delivered. With all the proper packing. Not sure if it was refurbished or not, but Its still workin! I checked with akai and he is an Authourized Dealer.

And I used PayPal too! They give you good buyer protection!
