There's a Roland TR-808 going for £10,000 on eBay

Have you got the cash for the classic Rhythm Composer?

A place like eBay might be a haven for bargains, but when it comes to classic drum machines? No way.

A "mint condition" Roland TR-808 is going for £10,000, packaged in its original box with a brand new foot switch ("which most people have never seen"), a dust cover overlay and all the Japanese manuals.

Going for such a high amount, the seller's preference for cash on collection might be a bit optimistic.

Check the eBay listing here and maybe let the Bicep boys know about it.
