This guy is selling a Yamaha P250 for over $1,000. If you read his fine print in the add, he says there are a 'few' problems with the item:

" the buttons, keys, and sound do not work.[/b] Also, the top body casing is pulling away from the bottom body casing on the left side of the unit."

See for yourself [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170122441322&ssPageName=ADMEWNA:US:78&refitem=&itemcount=0&refwidgetloc=&refwidgettype=osi_widget&isfrommerc=1]Scary eBay Yamaha p250[/url]

Don't buy it!

I would stay away from that one. eBay is a wonderful place to find a bargain, but what the big print gives, the little print takes away.

"But other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

LOL! Yikes. That listing is a prime example of caveat emptor.

Out of curiosity, how much does a WORKING P250 typically go for?

"he buttons, keys and sound do not work..."???

Anyone need a thousand dollar weight for large pieces of paper?

Ridiculous.

I recommend the warranty...

Looks like B2 is broken as well...

A quick search on Google shows up $1900 for brand new PS250's. Still you'd think for that price they'd be kind enough to list the photos of the damaged areas, and better description of what doesn't work.
Short of a tech who has access to Yamaha service manuals, I doubt they'll be getting any bids...

Not much use for tuning when all you can hear is clicking plastic.

Amazingly the seller has a 99.7% positive feedback. Well, I guess he makes up for an inferior offering with a full disclosure! (A glorified paperweight!)
