Yeah man.... I got on the x0xb0x list 2 months ago and already they hit me back for a purchase.
Now I gotta convince the wife that I need this! :lol:

just let her know how much a real tb-303 costs and tell her the x0x is 1/3 the price.
also tell her that the x0x run is limited due to rare parts, and it would cost twice as much to order all the parts on your own. :)

tell her that the health of your marriage is dependent on you buying one

i'm on the waiting list but i don't plan on building it myself. i'll find out how much it would cost to get someone else to do it and go from there. if it costs too much, hey i could sell it for a little more to someone willing to pay who wants it right away :wink: its like what 300-400? thats not a bad investment at all.

from what i've read, most people will build them for roughly around $200, which is a fair price considering all the time and labor involved.
so for around $500 and change, you got yourself the best 303 clone that's ever been designed.
the resale value of the x0x will always maintain it's value, as well as increase due to the demand.
i've seen some x0xb0xes sell for quite a bit of money on ebay.
so whether you decide to sell it assembled or not, you definitely won't lose any money at all.
but if you really love that acid goodness, it would be tough to part with.
