Trouble with Compacts is that, with them having a standard coax DC jack
socket, you never know what they've been plugged into.  If someone's
tried to run them off a wall-wart type power supply, they could have had
anything - AC or DC, up to about 20V applied to them.  If that's the
case they will be well beyond repair.

Seller also says "will arrange for local pick up only (no postage)" then
in the auction description says the weight is 8kg and he could strip
down the keyboards and master unit to save postage costs (!)

One to give a swerve I think.  Mind you, I'd love to see the pyramids.
