For only 1,994,210 payments of $350 sure, it's your's! LOL I just have to sound off on these WE'LL GIVE YOU MONEY commercials. MY GOODNESS there is one right now that offers $10,000 with no credit check or anything, however when you read the fine print it is 84 payments of $733!! Okay borrow $10,000 and pay back $61,572?!?!?!?! Really, people do that???
It pains me to say this but if I had $15 grand sitting in front of me ready to spend on music gear, there's at least 20 things that'd be bought ahead of this (sweet as it does indeed look).
I'd need a spare $100 k sitting around to consider this one as plausible Would be interesting to see where it ends up!!

A snippet from my upcoming EP...
at that price, your best framing it and mounting it on your wall. Or better still encasing it in a glass box and proudly have it on display on your coffee table.
is it just me or does it seem a bit insane to design a synth which has an individual synth voice for each key?
The insanity is to keep these running. There is too much that can fail in a PS series synth. Getting one of these without prior service, is a repair task galore.
I read an interview with the CEO of Korg, printed in Keyboard magazine many years ago, that Korg produced between 40 to 50 PS-3300s. This makes this synth a major collectors' item. However this one for sale, is not in original condition, but is maintained to be used as a music instrument. What will prevail? Someone who wants to use an unique instrument in their studio, or someone who wants to display it in their collection?
Is someone make a steal with a single bid? Will there be two to three bidders battling it out the last minute? Or will there be no takers at all? Oh the thrill of a real live horror movie is unfolding in front of us.
Edit: Still no bidders yet. IMO this is not exactly a good way to sell a PS-3300. The last one on ebay was about 10 years ago, with a BIN at $25,000! That auction lasted less than 24 hours, when someone snagged it at that asking price. There are not many people who can put that kind of money on the table. The seller potentially risks a one bid offer, and loosing out on thousands of dollars. Maybe the seller is in a hurry. I would have tried a BIN auction first, set a reserve price, or simply used Vemia. Guess we see tomorrow how this will turn out.
