V Drum Shoppers Beware of ebay!!

darkwater · 20th June 2007

There has been a rash of fraudulent auctions selling the TD-20 kit. I know because I've been looking for one for the studio. Most of these sellers are offering to sell a brand new in the box kit for $1500, but you have to email them to discuss the particulars outside of ebay. In an effort to have a little fun, I emailed one of these characters and had a brief exchange. He claimed to be in Romania, starting up a new music store.... Several other auctions with the same photo and DIFFERENT seller IDS were going at the same time.

If you don't know, the kit usually goes for around $5000 new.
