IF your selling it. Just be real and give an asking price otherwise, I'd suggest you call Akai and ask them how much it's worth if yor looking for that "blue book" price on your gear. Peace.

Youll make more money if you strip the expansions out and sell them individually.

An xl, fully expanded is worth about $800. (near mint)

A basic model will sell for $500-600, in near mint condition
$100-200 for the ib-m208p (8 outs) (speaking of which, I will buy off of you if you sell it...)
$200-300 for the eb16 (effects board)
$100 for the blue case (If you have the original)

I would leave the rest as is (expanded ram, mcd drive) and sell it that way;

:shock:
I would rather buy an s2000 with 8 outs for 100 Euro and sell it without the 8 outs for 50 Euro
Also I would rather buy the eb16 for 90 Euro (the price I had pay and this price is pretty normal)

It seem that noone want to buy it for mor than 100 Euro

Have you ever converted euros to dollars???

$100 euro is between $200-300....
$50 euro is between $100-200....

LOL

EDIT: The current conversion factor is 1.6 euros to 1 dollar.....last year it was over 2.2 euros/dollar. Im a little off, but not too far.
