I will second Pro Plug in, alternatively Tokai Music stocks a selection of second hand synthesizers, sound modules etc.

Decide what you want and buy online.

After shipping and taxes you'll still be well ahead........

Or take a weekend trip to Singapore and bring one back......

Just google and find the manfacturers distributor here in Bangkok.Most have their own outlets and sell directly.

what do you need it for? have you considered a soft synth controlled by a midi keyboard?

Is there a local (Thailand) ebay? Or do you buy from overseas and have it shipped to Thailand? In that case doesn't the shipping expense (and possibly duty/taxes) make it more expensive than buying new equipment locally?

Yamaha S70SX at Proplugin 95k baht or around 3200USD

Yamaha S70SX on eBay around 2200USD

That's a LOT of freight and taxes.....

gkin, have you done this? I would seriously like to know if anyone in Thailand has first hand experience in buying instruments from ebay and having them sent here. Were they satisfied with the price, delivery, service, etc? Any recourse if there are problems? (I know a lot of sellers on ebay in the US won't ship outside N. America.)

I'm just curious to know if this could be a viable alternative to paying the inflated prices we see locally.

I had a guitar shipped out UPS from New England....3-4 days to deliver door to door. Freight was $150 USD and Tax was about $50 so about $200 all up for a 2.5k guitar which was valued under that (cant remember how much as its about 3 years back)

Not sure but I think taxes are luck of the draw......higher using FedEx by all accounts?
