i agree that it resembles fb or cl currently, but if they add functionality to accept payment and ship, it would be more like ebay or reverb and open you up to the whole world where cl and fb are local. i can think of myriad reasons it could potentially be better than all 4 if behringer gets it right.

first, i can set my price rather than the inevitable haggling that happens on fb and cl. second, i’ve had problems with ebay and afaik you can’t speak to a human there ever, for any reason by email or phone. as someone who’s bought and sold a fair amount of equipment on all 4 channels, i welcome another competitor because there are seriously flaws in all 4 of them and all 4 of them are owned by corporations whose first business is not music.

There are no sellers fees on Craigslist or FB either though.

Cheaper. There are no seller fees.

I’m a little surprised it goes past B…

If they offer a CS-80 clone, I’d like to play it, maybe even buy it. No one else is on it. If I do, I’ll plan for it to ‘splode, though. Again, the DeepMind says the company has some muscle. I’d be glad to see that become more standard. I hate the haters, but that just makes me one of ’em! 😀

hi Uli

It just seems kind of half assed, no conspiracy theory needed.

@Frank Sampedro, when my Behringer Model D came with a chipped right side end cap, Uli himself reached out to me with a contact to get a replacement, and I had a new set of nice wood end pieces on my front door within a week! Never have I got such customer service from a synth manufacturer in the 40 years I’ve been at this.

I agree it would be good if they would explain clearly why they’re setting this up

No security and no privacy on an e-commerce site?

No thanks!

1. pretty sure my full name and home address are in full view of everyone.

2. there was no email authentication. you can sign up with any fake email address.

3. it’s unclear how i will receive payment. theres no option to link a paypal or bank account.
