from TB-303 resources mailing list -------[ http://www.tb-303.org ] ---------------------- I've also bought alot of stuff off ebay (approx 10 synths ;-) , never been burnt either. Definately agree with checking their record.. .If you're nervous do it COD. That way it's totally safe. If he doesn't cough up the goods, well, you've lost nothing, and he assured payment as they will only release the item if you pay, so no one can loose!
