Hi I'm a beginner and I've found a wholesale connection for 3 Yamaha (PSR-S900) Keyboards $1700 Total. 3 is the minimum for them and I'm looking for two other people that can come up with $566 dollars. You can't beat these prices. One sell for that amount alone (I only need one to start learning). They are brand new in the box. Please email me at mslanesa at gmail dot com if you are interested. The minimum Quantity Order is 3 which is why i need two more people. Here is what it looks and sound like.

I need serious people only that are ready to purchase right away. I would like to purchase right away so i can start learning. Please email me if you are ready to purchase now. Thanks!!!

$1350 keyboard for only $566? :-\

Hey that's what I thought too, but that's what he quoted me! :)

It is hard to figure why anyone would (legit)sell a new Yamaha PSR 900 keyboard for $566.00.
-
What is the status of the 2 other people?

Yes, Just like its hard to figure why Sean Puffy Combs would open a manufacture in China, hire works for .07 cents and hour. Sell the clothing in the US for 3 times the price (in the business / jewelry world they call it Triple Keystone Pricing). Why would i buy anything in the United States when none of our wholesalers are buying anything here. So to answer question, why would any business person settle for a retail price when they can get it wholesale from the manufacture.

I may have another person, just waiting to here back from him to see what he says. I try not to purchase any technology (including jewerly) from the US if I don't have to which is why the prices is what is what it is. I will keep you posted.

So, if the idea is to purchase these three keyboards from outside the US, how does this transaction take place? Does each person send their money to the seller and the seller ship directly to each of the three buyers? Or is one person collecting the money from the other two, then receiving the keyboards and distributing them to the other two?

That's why if you're interested, just pm the girl and she will give you all the details. If you're not interested, then you shouldn't even participate in the thread. >:(

What will happen is you'll send the funds to my Paypal Business account where you can dispute and get your money if you don't get the item. I will send the funds to the seller and have him to Dropship the Keyboards to each person at their address. This way you'll always have the contact once you receive the item.

I own a legitimate business, I don't have time for scams. I just want a keyboard for learning Piano and I don't need three which is the minimum requirement.

I just want to learn, that's it. I'm new and don't have a keyboard right now which is why the PSR-S900 is a good deal. Also, Ebay has the same Keyboard for $1299. Again, I think it's worth it considering the cost.

Hi Thanks to all those that participated in the forum and those that contacted me about going in to buy the Keyboards. I have a buyer is going to allow me to just purchase one! Anyone else interested in Purchasing the PSR-S900 Keboard can go to this seller.

T, I had to comment for the benefit of Lanessa and any other poster who might be interested. There is no tooth fairy. I,m just saying, watch your step. When I look at the site given, I can quickly determine that I would not do business with them.
An astute buyer could have bought a Yamaha PSR 900 for about $1150.00 just before Christmas at one of the large mail order houses(tax and postage paid). There might be other sales later on.
If someone gets a new one for $566.00, great for them.

Do what makes you feel comfortable, safe and happy. After doing business over there on several occasions, that's what I've chosen. The United States is over $10 Trillion dollars in debt to China. Wow, I wonder how that happened... Go and buy it from Ebay or Amazon and you'll be buying the same item from a respectful business that marks it up and sell it to you at a price that makes you feel comfortable and safe.

By the Way these guys are gold suppliers on Alibaba.com and if you still don't feel comfortable then buy it from here:

Why should they trust your check?
Some of them take Paypal and some Bank Wires. I've Done Business with them all three ways. Either way they just want to make sure you're legit. They feel the same way about you as you feel about them. Once they build a relationship then they may take payment in another form.

I beg to differ... There are many of you on this forum right now that play keyboard as a hobby and there are many of you that do it as a service and get paid for doing... You're already considered a business to the IRS if you charge for a service by playing your keyboard. You are a Sole Proprietor. So whether you purchase from them or not, I'm just providing a resource, you honestly don't have to, neither am I trying to force you to.

Lanesa,
If you have to buy 2-3 keyboards to fufill your order you can try selling the extras on eBay....

I think you guys are missing the point. You're not gambling as you do with the stock market. You're first of all dealing with wholesalers (gold suppliers). Why would they risk there their business over one seller that wants to purchase one keyboard when they've sold thousands.
If you were having second thoughts about someone over there that was a free member, I could see. But Gold Suppliers. For Real...
http://ggs.alibaba.com/?tracelog=24581_homepage_os (http://ggs.alibaba.com/?tracelog=24581_homepage_os)
No Gold Supplier is going to scam you for one keyboard and risk millions are you kidding me...
So what is the Benefit of being a gold supplier and get page rank and sales if you're going to scam someone
So What is There Definition of a Gold Supplier:
Gold Supplier is a premium type of membership for suppliers on Alibaba.com. To qualify for a Gold Supplier membership, a supplier must undergo and pass authentication and verification procedures conducted by a reputable third-party security service provider appointed by Alibaba.com. Once approved, Gold Supplier members are authorized to display the What's Gold Suppliers? icon to demonstrate their authenticity, which means they are a legitimate entity in existence whose identity has been verified.
Membership Fee: US$2,999 for 12 Months
Why would anybody want to risk losing $3000 in membership fees a year, Millions in Sales, for 6 beans... HaHa, yall too funny on this forum.

Actually I don't have to now. I have a seller I'm doing business with for one keyboard. I don't want to make a business out of selling keyboards, although i do sell laptops... That's the benefit of me doing business over there i can always get reliable, legitimate resources for other items. Also, I'm not experienced enough to sell keyboards. I a beginner, beginner...

Yes, but the diligently pay $3000 in membership fees every year. So $3000 to $600 for a keyboard. hmmmm.....

This is my last response on this forum, I don't have time to debate of over whether its safe to do business over there. If you don't want to don't...
If you see where there is opportunity over there, then do business...
By the time we finish debating over whether you should trust doing business over there or if something is a fraud, they've already sold thousands of those same keyboards.
Are there scams over there, yes. Just like there are scams on Ebay and Amazon, reputable services we trust.
It's your money... Your Choice... Go the safest route...

No Lanesa. $3000 for God-knows-how-many $600 keyboards before they're shut down. Then they reopen an account under another fraudulent name. Then then make dozens more transactions before they're shut down again.
FYI:
The company you listed, Xiamen Zhuxin, has been identified as a scam company on an Alibaba.com forum. (http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/369528/Save_your_money_The_best_ways_to_know_the_fraud_company_.htm?tracelog=forum_hottopics_carol1)

Why would you pull a thread from 2007. I've been on Alibaba since 2008 and was never scammed. Also, the services for Gold Memberships being enforced and them doing background checks didn't start until around late 2008. They also increased the price of being a Gold Member to decrease the chances of business applying for Gold Memberships that was not authentic. That's why the fee is now $2999.
You're pulling something thats very old. This is 2010. A lot has changed since then... Again it's your choice...

You have a decent budget to work with so there really isnt any need to do business overseas when you can get what you want right here. On the hand, its difficult to make request when you do not have a relationship/credibilty with others. Besides, IMO that particular keyboard isn't worth hassel.

Alibaba.com, China’s largest e-commerce company, on Monday launched what is set to be one of the world’s most expensive initial public offerings, seeking to raise up to 11.6 billion Hong Kong dollars ($1.49 billion) through a share sale priced at a much higher valuation than investors paid for Google when it came public.
Alibaba.com, founded by former English teacher Jack Ma in 1995, is selling a 17% stake in the company, in the biggest technology IPO since Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) raised $1.66 billion in 2004.
Alibaba.com on Monday revised its already high pricing range upward to between 12 Hong Kong dollars ($1.54) and 13.50 Hong Kong dollars ($1.73) a share, which would raise a maximum of 11.6 billion Hong Kong dollars( $1.49 billion) before an allotment option that would allow it to raise more in after-IPO trading.

I'm defending it because a keyboard is not all I have purchased from over there... The fact is I didn't need three of them which was the first offer...

Here's a positive article on the forum...
Maria from Denmark wrote a topic as follows which triggered a hot discussion on Chinese suppliers.
http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/2371/CHINESSE_SUPPLIERS_BE_AWARE_.htm (http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/2371/CHINESSE_SUPPLIERS_BE_AWARE_.htm)
As a local Chinese foreign trade manager with high credit standing, I can assure you that 99% of Chinese suppliers are honest and reliable. China is becoming the so called ' world factory' and ' manufacturing centre' owing to her low labour cost, which benefit billions of people worldwide every year. Countless buyers from worldwide coming to China for business opportunities every year, and some Chinese suppliers have to compete with their counterparts worldwide to meet the regulations of WTO. After China joined WTO in 2001, more and more Chinese suppliers are becoming trustworthy and reliable as they have realized that they have to improve the quality and service to compete with others.
However, some foreign buyers take it for granted that Chinese goods must be very cheap, so they cut down the prices to the least, incredibly low to make themselves profit more. In such cases, some Chinese businessman are forced to cheat you because they profit too less. If you don't have a win-win concept in your mind, you're bound to be cheated in China. There is an old Chinese saying like this: Low price doesn't match high-quality goods.

However, some foreign buyers take it for granted that Chinese goods must be very cheap, so they cut down the prices to the least, incredibly low to make themselves profit more. In such cases, some Chinese businessman are forced to cheat you because they profit too less. If you don't have a win-win concept in your mind, you're bound to be cheated in China. There is an old Chinese saying like this: Low price doesn't match high-quality goods.
Has the meaning of the word changed? ?/? ?/?
Let me say this, if alibaba is akin to Amazon and your company(on alibaba) is akin to a vendor(on Amazon) how does one recoup their funds if their transaction fails?

It's not contradictory... If you're going to search for post, don't just go to google and type in Alibaba and the word scams... You keep doing further research...

The same way you recoup on Amazon and Ebay... Some people use Paypal, Some use bank wire and some use Ecrow services... Ifn fact Ebay about 2-3 years ago was nothing but scams, people were selling knock off hand bags and tiffany and co jewelry left and right... Has it changed. NO!!!!
It has not changed... The only difference is once the buyer gives you a positive review or no complaints they release the funds. In fact they are calling some items (high risk). With Amazon, you have to negotiate with the seller. If they choose not to give you refund, then you have just lost out. The only thing you can do is give them a negative rating. I have sold about 50 books on Amazon and some software and have purchased about 70 books in the past 2 years. If I had a complaint with the seller we had to come to an agreement. They didn't just refund me my money back. So the answer to your question is this.
Look for the form of Payment arrangement that will satisfy you doing business over there. Have the seller insure the items. They only way that's going to happen is if you are buying large quantities of items. If you're buying one item, I don't see it happening for you. They are Wholesalers not Retailers although you will find a few retailers on there.

Look, a majority of your posts deal with you trying to sell/buy this keyboard and promoting this 'reputable' website. Since when do questions equate to negativity? :-\
Anyway, enjoy your keyboard. Maybe you can post some clips when it arrives. Be sure to add your face in the clips. ;) :)

Ok, so you said one site gives you the money back if you give a positive review. The other doesn't give the money back at all. So the answer is you might get a refund, you might not? If that's the answer then what can someone who sends their money to you expect if something goes wrong and you can't get the money back?

This.
I wasn't attacking you or Alibaba.com. I was attacking the validity of THE VENDOR (Xiamen Zhuxin Industry & Trade Co., Ltd.) you listed ON Alibaba.com. I even mentioned the vendor's name. I made it clear that I was attacking the vendor, not the site.
That specific vendor, as I showed in links, has been noted as being fraudulent.
I dunno. Personally, I'd say "Thanks for not letting me step on that landmine" instead of "Stop attacking the poor landmine". :-\
I hope you get your keyboard from ANOTHER company. :D If and when you do, I'll be the first one to offer advice and pointers. ;)
