Morning gents. Looking at moving my 2500 on and wondering what I should ask for it on ebay (UK). It's in excellent condition cosmetically, has 128Mb ram, a 40g internal HD and the screen protector strip still in place from new. Only downside is the mode key sometimes doesn't react as it should.

cheers

It´s always a tricky one on ebay, I bought a second hand 2500, advertised as brand new ´´unwanted gift´´ all that bollocks, anyway when it came it wasn´t in an mpc2500 box, wasn´t pakaged well and the box smelt like mould but non of that mattered because the **** hadn´t been touched, it still had the plastic over the screen, anyway, I was the ONLY one that bidded and ended up getting it for 361 pounds. I totally lucked out to some crazy person though, they even sent it before I had sent any money. So then I think to myself surely I can make some money on this, put it back on ebay and the highest bid was 740 pounds. Luckily for me the person never paid and I got to resist my greed and keep the beast!!

May I ask why you are selling? my cousin might actually be interested.

btw, the mpc is still working poerfectly, never even had a crash and I use it about 4-5 hours a day and have done for the last year.

oooh I love a bargaineesh

shit I got carried away, well if I were you I would put 0.00 uk shipping and put it on at a starting bid of 599. (no pound sign on this pc)

But to anyone that uses or has used an mpc on a regular basis they might be put off if they know how **** annoying it is when the mode key is not responding. it happened on my 1000 an it makes me wanna throw it out of the window.

In the UK you can get a used 2500 for around £500, fully working at the moment.

Blame the economic environment for that.

Look on ebay.co.uk
Gumtree.co.uk
SOS readers ad's
Cash Converters
MPC Hunter

Damaged goods lose 10-20% straight away, before negotiations even begin.

It's a buyer's market (more sellers than buyers), so take a quick cash sale all day long (but don't cave in!!).

It just doesn't get the use it deserves to be fair. Got all the original packaging too. Got an S3000 as well with box/manuals that doesn't get used either.

I paid around 700 GBP for mine on ebay around a year ago. It was mint, and had the memory upgrade and internal HDD installed.
