Buying an MPC 2500 in the UK

I purchased my 1st MPC last week & whilst reading the forum I've noticed some serious differences in the prices people have been paying in the UK. Just to say, if anyones looking for a good deal I got mine from rubadub records in Glasgow. I paid £780 for the MPC 2500, £125 for the CD writer, and £85 for the 128MB RAM expansion. The prices they had advertised were £945, £150 & £100 respectively but I managed to haggle them down fairly easily. I was really happy with their service & received all products the next day & they even fitted an 80GB harddrive which I purchased from pyramid.com for free aswell.

What are those prices in US currencies?

Thanks

Paid £790 for mine about 6 weeks back from Digital Village in Birmingham

Bought the RAM for £50 from classifieds, paid about £70 for an 80gb hard drive

I want the cd drive but there's no way in hell i'm paying over £120 for a £30 laptop drive. Getting on fine without it at the moment.

£790 = $1385 US

Use this to convert, it's kept pretty up to date

Wow! If shipping and tax wasn't so much in to the US I would have gotten one.

yea i payed £780 from digital village head office, i went to the sounds expo in london and they reserved the expo price for 4 weeks for me while i got the cash, i got unofficial ram for £20 which works fine and a 20GB hard drive for like £15. il only get the cd drive if i can get it second hand or something. its a monopoly i tell ya.

i got mine from digital village too, paid £790.00 got kingston ram cost me £25.00.

i paid 880, wiv next day delivery, i dont need the cd writer, f*** that i'l just use my p.c.

got mine form soundcontrol , had them 'on sale' for 799 - beauty of instore shoppin tho , u can always haggle, and if they aint nice enough 2 give u sum off teh actual machine , im sure they could sort sumthin for the upgrades
