One time I also saw somethign similar (can't remember the prices but an 88 was cheaper than a 61). They added even an address, somewhere in England. It look on google earth like a vague industrial area and after a short search there were some car garages.

hmmm ... maybe they sold cars with a built in synth, easy for playing while in a traffic jam.

However, it couldn't be picked up, after insisting I would let it pick up by a (imaginary) friend he stopped emailing.

Yes it is almost a certainty that anyone who refuses to allow an item to be picked up is basically not worth trusting.

And as the age old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true.

I am sure there is the odd exception, but best to be safe than sorry I reckon

I have to agree with that logic. If I buy an expensive board new, of course, it's no problem to have it shipped. If I buy a used expensive keyboard, it is ideal on the other hand to try it out and pick it up.
But...my wife thinks that amex will cover it and there is no need for me to travel 500 or a 1000 miles, stay overnight, just to pick it up in person. Oh well, I lost that debate.
