Just spotted these on Ebay UK, nothing to do with me but thought someone might be interested - of course, there's no nice returns policy on S/H gear, so better make sure you want it :lol:

Ren on BIN for £575:

£575 is still a bit too strong IMO. I tend to work on a 25% reduction for nearly new stuff, so £525 would be my top price if I was looking for a used Ren... which I'm not.

Theres a ren on gumtree for £560 and a Studio for £360. Brighton and London area, was tempted but sticking with Beatmaker 2 on the Ipad atm.

25% reduction is always my max for anything that I can buy elsewhere for new with full warranty and support. Unfortunately the majority of ebayers these days seem to be happy to pay pretty much RRP for some gear, just happy to save £5. I don't get it at all.

Yeah, that's just stupid. :roll:

A serious buyer might be able to snag it for £500 if they pick it up and pay cash. The seller wouldn't be losing any money after paying eBay fees and postage costs.

That what I do if I buying gear of eBay etc. It saves me cash as well as the hassle of arranging a day off work waiting in for a courier to deliver it.
