Poor resale value of the Force

I bought an Akai Force a few years ago and could never sell it for a reasonable price.
I tried 80%, then 75%, then 60% of the price I paid, nothing.
It even increased in price due to inflation, but can't get it sold.
Why is this?

Without way more info how is anyone here gonna be able to answer a question like that. If it helps I brought my Force used in 2021 for $888 so there hope but you just may be a bad salesman.

My location is Manchester, United Kingdom (as the profile info states), and I've been selling it on Reverb and Facebook Marketplace.
I sold various high end used instruments such as the MPC Live II, Elektron Analog Four, Elektron Analog Rytm, for about 65%-70% of the price when bought new.
The Akai Force doesn't get sold. Not only by me, but by a lot of others on Reverb. We are trying to sell it at about £700, where new it costs about £1050, this works out to a 65% of the price of the new one.

I'm currently in Liverpool, I managed to get £800 for mine on Marketplace (I can see yours advertised).
Mine was basically new with a 2TB SSD fitted with gangbuster levels of packs installed.
My problem was I hated the workflow, I think it was written by people who hate muscians lol.
Couldn't wait to see the back of it.
Good luck, it looks a minter!!

So you ditched the Force and what are you using now?

Mostly the MPC One, I also have an MPC-X available but it's a bit on the large side.

What kind of music do you make, and how was Force's workflow bad? I have a hard time imagining how anything about the MPC could be better than the Force, except maybe the size if it's an MPC One.
