You are bidding on the Native Instruments KORE NI I am selling this for my friend who has moved to the USA for work and has instructed me to sell his stuff. It is for all intents and purposes brand new but in accordance with the facts it is listed as used. It has no marks scuffs etc. and is as new in box with all that came with it. This would suit someone intending to buy new but wants to save big bucks. The retail on this item is $999 but you can have it now at the buy now price of $595.00 (thats over $300 or 1/3 cheaper than buying new from a dealer. On top of that because I don't wish to mess around with this sale it is listed at the starting auction price of $299 and will be sold to the highest bidder if nobody takes up the buy now option. postage will be worked out after the auction but there will be no handling charges or hidden costs, Pick up is available but I will post anywhere at cost of postal service asked for! Check my feedback for speed of transaction and fairness in post. Cheers Good luck bidding or just buy now!
