Shopping for a MPC1000

Looking into getting a MPC1000 and I saw some used ones on mpcstuff.com Do any of you know if this is a good place to purchase a used mpc? Kinda scared to drop 700-800 on a used item. Any suggestions?

if you're scared to drop 700-800 on a used one, just keep that and save up another couple on 100 and buy it brand new. they're going for 999 again.

word you might as well put a few more $$$ up and get a new one with new pads.

TY for all your input. I guess imma wait a bit to get a new mpc.

yea man... make sure you get the black one with the BK sticker on it... those have the new pads..... trust me... you WANT the new pads....

mpcstuff.com has some good deals. i just picked up a black 1k with new pad upgrade, 60gb hard drive, and jj o.s. for $800. they wanted $50 for a memory upgrade but i have an old laptop with suitable memory i can take out.
i was going to order a used 1k from ebay and do all the upgrades myself, but total cost would have been very close to the price of one from mpcstuff. call me lazy but i didn't want to mess with doing everything myself this time. one of my hobbies is diy electronics and circuit bending so i do my fair share of tearing stuff apart and putting it together again.

email them because they have mpc's in stock that aren't listed on the site. there was a blue one with pad upgrade for $700.

check craigslist. i got mine for $600 in perfect condition. 2nd choice would be Ebay.

i don't have any experience w/ mpcstuff.com
