Dave Horne Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I'm thinking about buying a new keyboard to replace some of my equipment and I might be selling my Akai S5000 sampler (among other things). I took a look at Ebay and the price for one there was extrememly low. For those of you who own a S5000, what do you think would be the range of prices for one in perfect condition with a 4 gig hd and 256 megs of RAM. Don't spam me - I'm not trying to sell it here, I will probably trade it in if and when I buy a new keyboard. I'm just curious what you think the low and high price might be.

zeronyne Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Dave, I bought one when it was new, and I was a little surprised to see how quickly they sank in price, especially since the ak.sys software essentially makes it a software sampler. I just bought two more with 256 megs of RAM and the USB card for $500 each (64 voice, 8 outs, no fx). "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Ventura Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Yes Dave, that' right. I keep turning away people who want to trade us their old S-6000, EMU E-4 Ultras, and even Akai's newer Z4 and Z8 for peanuts, but we'd get stuck with those if we accepted the trade-ins. Expect to bring in no more than 500/600 euros for that. If you're lucky. Max Ventura, Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
