Probably not, and if it is available it will most likely be new. If you see any silly prices, it could be a scam. For instance if you saw Yamaha Tyros 3 on eBay today for Five Hundred Pounds, you know its a scam because the Tyros 3 isn’t out yet and when it is released it will be in the region of Three Thousand Pounds.
