100% accurate Matt. Unless we are the recipient of that permission we don't know who has it and who doesn't. I would not have known about your (outstanding) CD had you not advertised it.

My concern is not to prevent anybody from making a buck. It is more to allow EVERYBODY to make a buck. Reselling a controller or a sound module once is not the same situation as people continually offering sales of their work. (I consider that to be spam, by the way.) I am looking at it from the same perspective as the young guy building his home studio and needing to be prudent with his spending. Or the guy who needs to sell a something to give his kids a better Christmas. Are YOU comfortable going the craigslist route and buying from strangers?

Allow me to describe a scenario from my city one month ago. (Substitute "synth" for "car" if you like.) Some people answered a craigslist ad to buy a car for $1000. They were given the address to come and see the car. The seller led them to the garage where the car was parked. When they got into the garage, the seller shot them both and took their $1000. There was never a car, and the shooter had no connection to the abandoned property he led the victims to. However it went down, they are no less dead. That is extreme example, of course, but it happened. Homicides 21 and 22 in my city I believe. (Yes, my city sucks.)

Wouldn't you rather buy a used horn from someone you at least know from the forums?

I really don't understand all the stern opposition to this.
