good price man...

3.10e OS and scsi is a pretty penny though, $400 or so for both, then memory expansion is over $100... then i bought a new floppy drive at VST for like $150 (rapeage!)... schit was a money pit for real!

you dont really need scsi and memory upgrade if you just use the 60 for sequencing another sound source though, floppies will suffice for that...

gotta come down on that price at least 300..

you got too much competition from the classics, XLs and 1ks..

no bids.. someone wants to buy it for 1k though.. surprised how much value these things gained..

By distantb Sun Mar 04, 2007 11:21 pm
Yea , i know you want to get the most for your 60 but think about the market your targeting , newbies don't want to spend 1000 bucks on an older unit with less features when you can find used 1ks for like 500-600 bucks and all the other units as well around that price range. The older producers and "collectors" or "gear whore" as i call my self know what the 60 is worth and wont spend the 1k. Sometimes how ever i can see you could get lucky and get some noob with the dough that just doesnt give a **** and wants whats "hype" and jumps on over priced gear. Everyone has done this at some point , at least i know i have when i first started out. I say start the bid at like 600 and have a bid war , advertise your auction like crazy...The demand is there you just need to approach it right , to get what you want. Never set a high buy now price , to get a high price you gotta get a war goin on then people bid with out really thinking about it. :twisted:

1000 isnt unreasonable with 3.1, scsi and ram upgrade. maybe youll have better luck parting it out? 150 for scsi, 100 for os, 90 for ram, 650 for the 60.
