I think I just got @#$&*! (revisited)...The Verdict

for the cool words and encouragement.
Dubmunkey, I had already bought another MPC 2000 XL with 8 outs and max RAM for $800 at the Guitar Center here in town, so that is why i was even happier to see my money back. I still have a gear lust so I'll probably spent atleast half of this $670 on more gear, I've been eyeballin this Mic and preamp for a while plus I could use some new Monitors

I'll never buy an MPC on Ebay. They sell to close to the actual sale price of a brand new MPC. If I'm gonna shed $1000 for an MPC on ebay and a brand new one costs $1200, then I'm going to the store.

Great news to hear that you got your loot back

Its hard too say but, purchasing via internet is very risky, not only your problem but also guaranty, some support and problems like this.

So if you buy a product like an MPC buy it brand new, its maybe much expensive but youre assured.....If something will be broken from my MPC I go back too the store..that simple.
