I know it was stock because I asked the seller before listing ended.

This is even more questionable than the OP £1200 for a maxxed machine. Is there a shortage of 60's in Deutschland?? Or am I missing something here?? Maybe I should actually offer EU shipping on my future sales...

Whats the obsession with the MPC60?

I've got the S950 hooked up to the MPC4000, anything I'm missing?

no.. the 950 I think has more sample time than the 60 I believe supposing it has the ram upgrade. It has more editing options... and it has the legendary tone program. Then after all that is taken into account... you got the damn 4000.

Now you guys got me wanting to scour ebay again...thanks alot.

I was watching that de auction myself.. f*cking cazy price
From my records:
feb 2012, ebay.de auction ... mint mpc60 mkI, 1 bid, 500€
jul 2011 mkII mpc60 ebay.de auction, 39 bids, 905€

both had no scsi, I also saw 1 of 2 other mint examples this year go for about 600-700€ on ebay.de... anyway the prices are well inconsistent.. the cheapest ones where sold when ren hype was at its peak.. now that the hype is over maybe alot of people want to buy back their classics.

That 60 is hella clean though. Original Pads, White Buttons with the lettering still on, fresh looking knobs with no wear, and overall mint looking armrest and unit with no scratches or rust. This should be a testament on why it's important to take care of your gear.

and yet on ebay you so often see most f*cked up, broken gear sell for higher prices than mint examples... The one that went for 500€ this year also looked very clean.. these braindead bidding wars between ebay newbies are what drive the price up.

Not an mpc, but jeeeeezus. This guy's asking about twice what my first car cost for this sp12.

He's charging about 3 times market price on that sp12, it's not even recapped or fully working FFS.
He's right that it's alot rarer than the 1200.. It also rings more when you pitch samples... but..
Anyway last two fully working sp12's from european ebay auctions went for 800-900€ IIRC ... still good prices considering what the 1200s go for

True, and while there are collectors who will pay top dollar for a machine that is completely mint (as proven in this thread) this machine, ain't.

Well, £1062 (plus shipping) for a stock MPC60 MKI and £1200 (including shipping) for an MPC60 with all upgrades and CF reader is great news for sellers in Europe.

I never thought I'd see the day when MPC60's sold for more than the MPC3000, MPC4000, MPC5000 and even the new Renaissance (£699.99 when it arrives here).

Clearly the original MPC60 has moved from just being a visually appealing, classic 12 bit drum sampler to something that is in rapidly diminishing supply and highly collectible in its original form. Mk2's don't have the same appeal to many people, but I like the design.

True in deed @clint! That 60 you posted sold for that price because it was mint and all original. A collectors piece no doubt.

I remember back in 07 cats were saying you shouldn't pay no more than $4-600 USD for a maxed 60. That's bs nowadays.

well i am glad i got my 60 mint in germany with scsi for 650 back in 2009.

crazy what these go for now...

The point is how many mint or good condition 60's are left?

How many of these remaining machines have expanded memory, SCSI, OS 3.10?

How many 60's go to the scrapheap each year or are parted out for spares??

How many 60's are hidden in lofts and basements, largely forgotten?

The answers will be different depending which continent you are on.

I've probably bought 7 or 8 MPC60's in the last 18 months and none of the sellers were actually using them. Most had moved to software, or needed to free up some cash, or used to make beats back in the 90's. Most were in pretty good condition, needing maybe a new backlight or a floppy drive, nothing major at all. Three of the 60's came in flightcases which is usually a good sign.

I had to part one out due to faulty OS chips. It was a Mk1 and every single part sold except the midi PCB. Knobs, buttons, side panels, armrest, memory upgrade, casing, floppy, screen, slider, SCSI board, output PCB, everything. Brought in £800 and parts shipped to US, Japan, France and UK.

Sadly, damaged/ faulty machines do have to be parted out to keep others alive. If you can afford the luxury, keep one to use for spares even if it doesnt look pretty...
