For me, the phrase “It makes a good effects unit.” I’ve heard this repeatedly about the SP404mkii. Translation, “If you end up hating the work flow, or cannot remember all the special button combinations, or don’t have the time and energy to tackle the learning curve, it makes a good effects box.”
To be honest that is what I use mine for.
pre-order.
14 kg and above or longer than 1 meter. Bad for the back and too big for the car.
‘Roland’
Of overdrive pedals: “It’s a good clean boost”
…”but I’m sure that will be addressed in a firmware update”
On Reverb: “Only used it for 2 hours.”
“untested”, “sold as is” = FUBAR in most cases
Which is funny, because I have a few synths I don’t need that may need thorough testing, and I don’t have time to do that and put them on sale.
I bought (under influence of GAS) the SP404 with this as the sole excuse because the sampler in it doesn’t really do any the things I need a sampler to do to be useful. In reality, I haven’t found any use for the thing in the 1.5 years I’ve had it. So yeah, looks like a phrase that should scare one away 
Clearly you haven’t met our lord and savior 303 vinyl sim yet.
Mint but… / or with the exception of
Opened, never used…
______ knob missing but doesn’t affect the functionality
oldie but goodie= just use the headphone out it’s the same thing
I love getting stuff on eBay these days. The baked-in nature of this phrase, AI-generated descriptions, the fact it auto-fills new listings with previous similar ones, sellers becoming very noticeably more and more disingenuous… Great buying experience.
I hate those AI-generated descriptions so much. “This thermionic culture vulture is essential for beginners and professionals alike”. No it isn’t.
I refuse to buy anything with that crap in the description, it is worse than no description at all.
“gets the job done”
“Smoke free studio”- not a place I’d make music
Unwanted gift
Won in a raffle
Going Abroad
Own two letting one go
Needs some love
Having said all that, I did just buy an OT off of reverb that was described as opened but never used, unwanted gift blah blah blah for a pretty decent price and it turned out to be bang on.
So not always bullshit.
