As you all know I listed the joint on ebay and got one bid @ $1750.00 with $40.00 us shipping or $120.00 shipping worldwide. I got all kinds of crazy messages with people offering me packages of money, equipment, and even a night with his girlfriend also. I passed on all of them. Then low and behold I get a message and he tells me to call him he will drive 4 hours to Chicago to purchase the unit for $1800.00 cash. I agreed. My buddy and I played 2k12 for 3 hours and I ran him 3 games w the timberwolves M. Beasley 38, 50, and 37 ppg. Dude and I agreed to meet up at the Morgan Park District Police station. The cops were laughing like "really, yall got a deal going down @ the station" they were amazed at how it looked and Dude was VERY EXCITED. I checked all the money with my counterfeit detector pen, we shook hands and I went and deposited my cash. Do I miss it...... no. Will I purchase another? Yes, I'm going to wait though for musiciansfriend to offer %15 off again. That $100 off isn't cutting it. It has been a pleasure and goodnite. I posted this in excitement before I even took the auction down.... omy now to end this auction. :smoker:

SKILLZ

I'd be sly about talking about ripping the dude off and saying what a sucker he is, he'll prob get home and join the forum and see people ripping on him :lol: :lol:

Why didn't he just wait though??? :?

I don't think the dude from Iowa got ripped off. He just wasnt patient. 1800 dollars is probably nothing to him.

Me personally..I would have waited til sept 6th or whenever it comes out..paid 1299+ for it..straight out the box. There's no reason to buy a Ren used.....unless you have no patience.

Sometimes you pay a premium for wanting something before anyone else has it. Obviously he felt the Ren is worth $1800 which is still cheaper than the MPC 2000 and 2500 when they were released.

I am sure dude will enjoy his new MPC...

I don't know many professional capitalists that refer to customers or clients in a derogatory way. Value is relative. This is why the sophisticated investor likes stock and future market investing. One day something is worth more than it will be another day.
Oprah is a good investor. Not sure if I would ever do a deal again with anyone that insults me after I helped them by buying their good. Oprah dissed no one mind you.
Markets ebb and flow and it is a zero sum dynamic. I am sure Oprah has purchased something that was over valued at some point in life.
Play nice


Cheers,
