Hello!
Wondering were you guys get your 2ºHand stuff, perhaps we can connect our info and help each other.
tell me the websites u use and which country it belongs and lets make a list. (if there is a topic of this already, delete this)

ebay.com/ - International ( the obvious one... )
hispasonic.com/ - Spain/Portugal/ (EU perhaps - depending on the seller)

I'm in the US and I use:
https://reverb.com/ (this site is great)
Ebay for cheaper/noncritical items where a bad purchase won't cost me (you can pretty much skip buying synths on there)
Gearslutz (a bit more reliable than ebay but I prefer to use escrow for large items)
Craigslist (always for local purchases where I can test the product personally, and never at either person's home or business unless they're a known quantity).

When it comes to computers I actually do some forum trading/purchasing and we use sites like beerology & heatware for 'reputation', which is far more trustworthy than modern Ebay ratings.

thnks, i actually want to do this because i dont rly use Ebay that much, or never (besides using it to look up prices)

Ebay is untrustworthy for large audio purchases, the number of synth scammers tracked on Gearslutz alone shows this.

i have had some really great experiences on Ebay, but you certainly have to be very careful.

I will add that I use eBay often as well. Just be careful when you are offered a pristine condition Moog Modular

Just for reference, here's the GS thread on bad ebay traders to give our users an idea of what to look for (or to avoid) when using ebay: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/electro ... -list.html
