New guy here.

I'm looking into buying an MPC some time in the future, probably the 2000XL I have started reading up on them in the last week or so and am desperate to get my hands on one, but, unfortunately, cash isn't in great quantity here as I am 17 and an unemployed student. :( But, it's my 18th pretty soon so hopefully I'll be able to cop one around the end of November.

Anyways, what's the best place to buy an MPC? Is it recommended to go for the second hand machine? Maybe ebay? I had a quick search of ebay.co.uk and there wern't that many MPC to be honest, although they had about 5 up for auction, but only one 2000XL. How much should I be paying? I don't want to make a rash buy, and it turns out I've spent over the odds so just a rough pointer would do here.

Thanks in advance for any help recieved.

Ant.

The MPC 2500 is being released this week. I'm betting that by November, plenty of heads will be selling perfectly operational XLs so they can cop the new gear. There's a lot more of these being sold in the US, so maybe you'd be better off paying the higher shipping rates if you find a cheaper unit.
