I have been looking at this one on ebay in the UK:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... NA:GB:3160

He had it on "buy it now" of £2299 and it didn't go.

He did have two offers of £1950 and £2000 that he rejected though.

£2000 doesn't seem to bad, so I'm a bit happier.

I have never sold anything on Ebay though so I'm not looking forward to that bit!

Looks like I am going to have to ebay it, £1600-£1700 looks pretty good compared to that!
My dealer here in Germany took it back now after 13 months. I am really greatful for that.

Maybe you should read the small print again and make an exchange against an other product? Most of the time it helps to take something a dealer has in his showroom or stock. So it will not hurt him to exchange your used gear against what he allready has available.

I knew my dealer had a Physis Piano and so would be more inclined to give it too me in exchange for the Kronos. There are always possibilities. Ebayis just the last route I would only go if I needed the money bad.

I wish you the best. Good luck.

That price offered was for part exchange for a Nord Stage 2. Somehow I don't think they want the Kronos back!

Why don´t you go for a Studiologic Acuna 88 + Kronos 61 (without X) as replacement?
Any reasonable dealer would do that.
(Maybe the EU/German rules are better for customers than some people think. :) )
