i got mine for like 550.00 w/ jjos and updated pads.

a good deal would be 300.00 and you get a bj from him.

and im surprised that craigslist has that kind of deal most people just try to a$$ rape on craigs

lol, u guys are ridicules haha, we all know the pads on the blue 1000 are notorious for going bad, plus i hear the feel of the newer pads feel more like the older mpc models

get the new ones so when you sell this thing you can just put the old ones back in and then sell the new ones separately.

speaking of, i have a hard drive kit with 100GB drive and CF adapter, the akai memory upgrade, and a black case for sale, hit me up. my new pads are already taken
