Lowest price ever?
$126.75 using Afterpay. Slightly more for other payment methods and eBay Plus.
Only two colours at this price but others are available for slightly more:
* Blue SOLD OUT
* Translucent Lime
Also the RD-3 drum machine for $153.
What the hell is it? A lead synth for acid/house/techo music. See discussions in previous deals.
They've only had about 40 years to copy the originals :)
Ha yeah fair point.. unfortunately for me I had plenty of opportunity to pick up some great analogue gear back in the day but I was a poor student/graduate (I think I am mostly upset at passing up a Juno 106!)
D'oh.
I'm looking forward to their CS-80 clone, considering CS-80s are ultra-rare to find and are worth 10Ks of $$$ now.
Wow that is going to be an amazing feat if they can pull that off… and of course the first patch has to be Vangelis Blade Runner! :)
I'm still holding out for Behringer's Oberheim OB-Xa clone… drool

That does sound good - love the Oberheim sound. I'm surprised they are able to copy details like the colour scheme, graphics styling etc on the synths too.
@beebul: Yeah, it's crazy! They even straight up renamed it to the "Behringer Oberheim OB-Xa" apparently:

Trademarks
"If you take a closer look at the trademarks under Oberheim, you can see that Tom Oberheim is still the owner of the brand Oberheim. MusicTribe (Behringer) tried to take over the name in 2018. In 2019, Behringer won a lawsuit against Tom Oberheim and was able take over the brand name. However, they have also the rights to the name Behringer Oberheim. So the name change of the synth clone would make more sense. Interestingly, Tom Oberheim has applied for the OB-Xa trademark last year. Probably to protect the name and this legacy. For this reason, it’s strange that Behringer renames the UB-Xa to OB-Xa."
@DATApush3r: Seems a bit underhand to try and re-appropriate a whole brand - is he still allowed to call himself "Tom Oberheim"!!?
The same ebay seller, stringsforless_au has other stuff that may interest this audience. Prices seem low compared with storeDJ and the like.
I've always wanted a 303. Ordered!
Everybody needs a 303.
Great price. Shame I already have one. I am hanging for the "modded out" version now, which seems to be nowhere to be found yet.
Same here!
