A Genos for $800?

https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/msg/d/tampa-yamaha-genos-digital-workstation/7463848446.html

In "immaculate condition"?  With speakers and accessories?  There's gotta be a catch, but I guess if anyone here is near Tampa, Florida (USA) and would want to check this out, it might be worth it just to see what this is.  To be CLEAR:  This ad is NOT from me, and I have no affiliation whatsoever with whoever is running this ad.  Tampa is about 100 miles from me, and I am not in the market for a Genos, but I thought someone here might find this interesting.  This is probably some sort of scam, but I'd sure be curious to know what is going on.

Someone in the same area also recently posted a PSR-SX900 for only $1000, and I thought that was too good to be true.  It's not there now -- for all I know, this is all related somehow.

Obviously it's a SCAM.

Or stolen! I would not pay for this unless I was a local buyer and could see the thing first and try it out.  Pay with check ONLY!

If anyone was think of buying this Genos, I'd ask for the serial number and have the local police run it through their database to see if it's stolen. Keyboards like that are very difficult to play when the keys are that hot ;D ;D ;D!

Even then, I'd be leary about the Genos working correctly.

Interesting.  The post has now been "flagged for removal", so that link I posted no longer works -- well, it just gets you the "flagged" message.  Maybe someone suspected it was stolen, or maybe it was some sort of bait-and-switch.  Maybe someone checked it out and it turned out that the $800 was a down payment, or something like that.  I'd be curious, but yeah -- WAAAAY too good to be true!
