What's the most ridiculously over-priced synth you've seen listed on Reverb?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So, I used to get a bit frustrated seeing so many horrendously over-priced synth listings on Reverb, but recently I started looking at it a bit differently. Now, I am actually finding some comedic relief in some of these ridiculous listings and have been getting quite good laughs especially over the past few weeks.</p> <p>So, I would like to hear some of the examples you have seen in the past couple of years or so.</p> <p>I will start it off with a "great" example: <a href="https://reverb.com/item/64069533-roland-jp-8080">https://reverb.com/item/64069533-roland-jp-8080</a></p> <p>List guy is listing a Roland JP-8080 for a cool $5,000! That might sound like a bad deal but it's actually $2,750 off his originally listing price of $7,750 lol! So, you're getting an amazing 35% off lol! He lists the condition as Very Good, which seems fair based on the pics. Here's the funny part... these go for $1,300-$1,500 in Excellent condition (1 better grade) and the highest 1 sold in the last 18 months was $1,800 for a pristine Mint version. So, dude's "discounted" price is roughly 4x-5x the going price for one in this condition!</p> <p>Some more comedy from his description:</p> <p>"Comes with the rare matching rack ears." rare... really? these were issued with all original units and almost every unit listed for sale includes these lol </p> <p>"This is actually the synth I least want to sell… and so I won’t let it go cheap"... well duh, clearly you DONT want to sell it at that joke of a price lol</p> <p>"You won’t find a better USA domestic located JP-8080." really? then what about the handful in better condition than yours from the USA that are CURRENTLY listed on Reverb? Heck, there's a mint one available less than 200 miles from my house lol.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/MMariota-8"> /u/MMariota-8 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/133eebw/whats_the_most_ridiculously_overpriced_synth/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/133eebw/whats_the_most_ridiculously_overpriced_synth/">[comments]</a></span>
