Have a look - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Korg-Kronos-73-keyboard-MUSIC-WORKSTATION-Synthesizer-/130570979469?pt=Keyboards_MIDI&hash=item1e66a3088d

£1,700 for a K-73 - but all the description talks about is a BOX!!!

Buyer beware I think Evil or Very Mad

Some time ago I also had unbelievable advertisements on ebay, like euro 800 for K61, 73 and 88. The 88 was even cheaper than the 61. And also it was immediately available, even when there were only demo models at that time.

If in doubt, always request to pick it up yourself ... I mailed that to the one above and after a few (unprofessional) emails, he suddenly stopped mailing.

Too good to be true is always a red flag, though.

you've got nothing to worry about. eBay is on the buyers side.

I bough my Kronos 61 on ebay for $2,799 around £1,700 even with import tax I saved around £500. If you can pay by paypal it is probably legit. Scams normally tell you not to bid but contact some email address.
