A friend recommended I create an account here to let the various instrumentalists know that one of my Etherwave Pro theremins is for sale.
I’ve really taken good care of it, it was my backup which I no longer need the luxury of so it sat, after I made sure it was in solid shape, since the day I purchased it… wrapped in plastic, in it’s carrying bag.
I hope it goes to a good home, it’s a very special thing!
Okay, here is the url to the auction. Thanks for looking and I hope this is received as useful and not just considered spamming the forum…
Hi EricK, I just bought an E-Pro Ltd. I thought that I would keep my non-Ltd E-Pro as a back up but I spoke to a person at Moog today and they said that there are plenty of spare parts for years to come except for the wood case. Therefore I am going to keep the Ltd model and sell the original model to free up some cash to pay a few bills. I share your thoughts, as I would have bought 7 of them at $995 when they first came out if I had known they could sell for up to $7800 each in just a few years time.
What’s a “sod”? I am not sure if it is luck. I work very hard scanning the web for deals in hopes to flip the buys into more valuable items. So far its working. I have a list of my gear on the footnote line here.
My turn to pay bills! I’m selling my EW-PRO + Nice customised Wooden Case to protect the Jewel. Perfectly working and very good condition. It is in Miami, FL if you want to see it! Message me for any information about it. Regards, Marc.
Yeah… You’re still about $600+ too high for a machine that does not have the foam/gig bag.
And with the new Plus, it’s no longer the only Moog Theremin that has CV connectivity. So between that and the depressed Economy, I expect even less as a final sale price for your old EPro.
I emailed the guy with the EW-Pro Ltd. for $2500 on Craigslist, and he is asking me to wire him $2500 Western Union to Italy for the Theremin. Sounds a little fishy. Why you ask? Because if you take a look at Ebay auction number 130299917111 you’ll see that there is a picture of the same theremin with the same fabric in the background and that it already sold for over $5000. A while back someone hijacked pictures of an EW-pro I sold on ebay even the same description, and they were obviously scamming. Maybe they’ve taken their tactics now to Craigslist. However maybe the sale on Ebay fell through and the owner moved to Italy (was in San Francisco when on Ebay) So I don’t want to make any absolute judgment calls here. Just be carefull.
Someone I know of, offered to pay and pick up this theremin locally in Italy and has not heard back since then. They were quick to take money wired western union and “ship” but totally silent when offered a local pick up. Do the math, it doesn’t add up.
There is a seller who has not one, but two Etherwave Pros for sale. One is at $7.00 and the other is at $11.00. The listings are identical and very suspicious.
Both listings tell the sad story about how he bought this instrument in Austraila and now has to sell it . He only played it twice and the photo is a stick photo.
The amazing part is that there are people bidding on these items.
Sounds like the same scammer. And I presume the listing also says that the sale MUST take place outside of Ebay, and the listing is only for 24 hours? This scammer had listed about 5 of the same listings with the same picture and description all at the same time, about 3 months ago.
