My MPC 4000 was $2900 new. $600 is the sale of the century. As far as an influx of machines on eBay I wouldn't worry about that . These machines just don't break. The moving parts in it that will break are the internal disk (which can be replaced for $100) and the fan. The only bad situation you can get is a defective motherboard or a machine that was poorly cared for. Otherwise like others have said, make sure everything is seated correctly and you just bought one of the best samplers money can buy. My machine has never even hiccupped but its been sitting in the same room for over 10 years covered when not in use.

lm ln love with it. I come from the mpc 1000 and i use to swear by
It until i made this purchase. I paid 600 for it and so far no problems.
Great machine i love the work flow, the feel of the pads when i hit em
the sound is warm and authentic. I come from an era of Boom Bat so hardware is what im used to. This is definitely one of the best purchases ive made in a long time. The unit came with 272 ram also
80 gigs of internal memory. I did have to reformat the HDD i bought a
couple of thumb drives and now im in business. Oh and i just loaded up the akia software to my macbook so now i can drag and drop wav files from the computer to the mpc 4000. In 2015 this machine is still
relevant. Im glad i copped it now lma learn it inside out and create some great music. If you are looking to buy one do so you wont regret it. Peace.
