Hi,
I also had the "pleasure" with Mr. Adonis Mantos, E-mail-Address:
adonis.mantos@hotmail.gr.
I knew from the begining that the keyboard he was offering would cost a lot more in the real world, but I tried to find out which website he was using for the transaction, in order to post it here. Unfortunately he somehow smelled danger and isn't answering my emails anymore.
But, anyway, I posted his name and e-mail address in other forums as well, so people can look him up and be warned.

Here's what he wrote:
>> Hello,
Thanks for your e-mail.
Final price that I accept 1900 EUR. The KETRON AUDYA is absolutely in perfect condition and it still has 1,5 years international warranty.
I have to inform you that for the moment, I am located in Heraklion, Greece and the ketron is here with me. In case you really are interested in buying my ketron, we have 2 options:
1. You will come in Heraklion to pick it up personally, and pay cash.
2. We will use an escrow company, which will help us finish this transaction safe and fast. I will pay all the shipping fees.
The company will provide a 3 days inspection period, meaning that you can test the ketron for 3 days, before I receive the money from you. They will take care of everything: shipping and payment. (the delivery period is between 3 or 4 days and the payment will be made through bank transfer)
Please let me know if you are interested, so I can give you more details on this transaction.
I will wait for your reply. Thanks!
PS: You will receive everything, including invoices, warranty documents and instruction manuals, purchase bills, original box, etc.

Hello,
To finish this transaction safe and fast, we will use an escrow company. Using an escrow company will make things much easier... because they will do all the work for us
Just to make things clear, I will explain exactly how this works:
1. I will go at the local office of the shipping company, and I will leave the ketron in their custody. I will pay all the shipping fees and the delivery period will be around 3 or 4 days. That means that in maximum 4 days, you will receive the package at your door.
2. You will be contacted by the agents of the company, and you will receive from them, the scanned bills (with payment and delivery information) and the tracking number of the delivery, so you can track the package online, using their website.
3. After you verify and see that everything is in order, you have to transfer the money - 1900 Eur (as an insurance) to a bank account of the escrow company. (they will hold your money, until you finish testing the ketron)
After the testing period of 3 days, ends....... if you decide to keep the ketron, I will receive the money from them and the deal closes
In case you decide, not to keep the ketron, you will receive your money back, and they will send the package back to me. (But I am sure you will keep it because it's in perfect condition, with warranty. You will see!)
This is how the escrow system works.
If you decide to proceed with this transaction, please let me know, oh... and to do that, I will need your full name and address (your shipping details)
I will wait for your reply.
Greetings
Adonis
