So I tried to order an Ecler Nuo 2.0 from ebay...

1) The listing was for a Nuo 2.0, but the picture was for a Nuo 2. I didn't even know there was a 2, doh! But I won the auction for around $200 which seemed like it was still a good deal for the 2, so I let them ship it.

2) Something like 3 weeks later I receive the mixer. It was a bit odd that it came in a computer box with the sender's name being the name of a pawn shop even though the eBay seller was called Kats Guitars, but this was not too crazy, just worth mentioning.

3) I opened the box and it's a Pioneer DJM-909! It's got some heavy scratches on the top, and a big sticker on the side, but otherwise seems to work fine. New, these mixers go for around $1200, and used on eBay they go for between $800 and $1600...I payed $200.

The right thing to do seems to offer to send it back at a big inconvenience to me. It is also possible (unlikely) that given the time to receive it and the false (I'm assuming it was just a mistake) advertising they decided to upgrade me. Do you guys have opinions on this mixer?

I know nothing of mixers but dude if it's better, than keep it.

Contact the seller and see if it was really a mistake. If it was, offer yourself shipping it back at their costs. It was their mistake and they should pay for it. Also, even if you do earn a lot of money on keeping it, you won't be happy later when your conscience kicks in. Maybe offer them a small amount of money (50-100$) to keep it, if you can afford and if you would rather use this one than the one you was intending to buy from the beginning.

Hope I'm helping

How is that a dilemma? u just payed $200 for something that is ridiculously more expensive... Keep it and dont say a word... or sell it and buy the original one you wanted and ur left with some extra cash...

Keep it, but next time you see a homeless man buy him a sandwich and some fruit.

Pay it forward, basically.

I didn't want to start some sort of bad karma cycle with my gear. Something just didn't feel right. I messaged the seller today to see what they wanted to do. I know it might seem like a no brainer to just keep it, but I just know that every time a piece of gear cut out in the middle of a set I would feel that guilt in the pit of my stomach "should have been honest". Hell, they might not even give a fuck, they're obviously not the most organized business on the planet. We'll see how it turns out. If I don't send it back, I may give it a once over, clean the faders, and give it up for the gear I want. It's nice and all, but I'm not sure if I'd use those effects. Imma go play with it for now

lol.

and a djm 909 or do you mean a djm 900? if so then damn what a 'steal' lol!

yeah, they will most def realize soon enough that their pioneer is missing when they try to sell it to someone else. Contact them and tell em i say.

I told them what happened, and asked if they wanted it back. They apologized for the "mix" up and said that if I was happy, they were happy. The message was actually really nice, and the person informed me that they had been on vacation last week, and the shipping guys messed up a whole bunch of stuff (who's fault is really though?). Anywho, now I just gotta decide whether to use it or sell it, guess I'll just try it for a while. Honesty wins.

PS I WISH it was a 900...
