The Spirit of Cuahtemoc Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hey guys. I dont know anywhere better to put this, but do any of you guys have a clue about what this gear is worth? Its all A1, been sitting in boxes for a year or two, come with boxes, manuals and cables. I've bought them off a co-worker, and am trying to figure out if its worth keeping them or if id be better off selling them and buying some new bass gear [Wink] . Heres the list of what I've bought : Roland jv1010 Sound Module roland groove box MC 307 Amagic amt-8 8x Midi to USB RNC - compressor Roland XV3080 sound module Access Viris indigo synth keyboard Nord micro modular Roland JP8000 synth modeller keyboard Novation Nova II keyboard Any help is much appreciated.

Sven Golly Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Go to http://www.prepal.com/ for stats on recent online selling prices of a lot of gear. Not sure if it'll have all of the items you've listed, but it'll give you a good start. Cheers, SG P.S.: Yeah, what Jeebus said. That's what I get for walking away before clicking on "Add Reply" and coming back half an hour later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoozer Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I knew secondhand stuff was really cheap in Oz (and that the prices of new gear made up for that), but you got this complete LOT of stuff? Would you mind telling us for how much? Anyway, before finding prices, I go around eBay and some second-hand sites here to see what others have done. Roland jv1010 Sound ModuleJV-1080's (their bigger brothers) go away here for 250 euros already, so 200 would be max. They're ubiquitous, and the controls aren't really friendly in some cases (editing is nearly impossible without a computer) so the (U?)$200 I saw above is probably more close to the mark. roland groove box MC 307If it's in a good condition, 250 euros. Emagic amt-8 8x Midi to USBNew, they're expensive as hell here (400 euros!). I sold mine for 225, which is reasonable. RNC - compressorThey're not so easy to get. I've seen 'm go away for around 175 here. The "RNC" stands for "Really Nice Compressor". http://www.fmraudio.com/RNC1773.htm shows a new price of U$199 so you might have to drop even a bit further. Roland XV3080 sound moduleA bit superfluous with the JV1010 up there, but it shows that he might not've been able to sell the 1010. 400? Access Virus indigo synth keyboardIs this an Indigo I or an Indigo II? If it's a I (based on the Access Virus B), 800. If it's a II, it's based on the Virus C, which has recently taken a dip thanks to the upcoming release of the Virus TI, so that'd be 1200 ("desktop" C's go away here for 900 already). Also see www.access-music.de . Nord micro modularGreat little machines, no producer can do without 'm (or should've tried one at least). They go away for 225-250 here. Roland JP8000 synth modeller keyboardEven if it's an oldie, it's still popular. Never seen one go away for less than 600 here. Novation Nova II keyboardAccording to the reviews on Harmony Central, it's not exactly blessed with a bug-free OS - I've never seen many of 'm around, second hand. The feeling of the keyboard itself is lovely, though. A bit tougher to determine, because since its release it's got a lot of competition and only little showtime. Does it have any expansions? I'd probably put it on 600 or a bit more - if it's got a faultless working OS, 700. It can stand its ground with the Indigo, but the character is different. Anyway, your mileage may vary. Don't forget to convert the above from Euro to AUS bucks -> www.xe.com I don't know how close I am in the guess (it's a habit of mine to check 2nd hand prices on www.Synthforum.nl where a LOT of stuff gets put up for sale, daily) I do know however that this is a really nice collection. Kind of odd that there's no samplers in there (or maybe he kept 'm). Here in the NL we have the advantage of having the German stores (really big ones) close to us, so a lot of things aren't that expensive if you are willing to order from abroad (and they have a great service, too). For stuff like Cubase, the US is clearly in the advantage. There's an absurd difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spirit of Cuahtemoc Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 I paid $2,300 EUR at todays exchange rate for everything there, cables for all of it and a few other odds and ends. At the moment I'm thinking about selling the Nova 2 and the JP 8000 - is ebay the best place to sell synths ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 In that case you got yourself a nice deal, I think. You got a good discount on the big boys (Nova II, JP, Indigo, 3080). Ebay is one way. Classified ads's a second. Since most of the Ebay stuff comes from the USA and they don't always ship abroad, I think you can make a few fellow people from your country rather happy with that stuff. Did you test 'm yourself already, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT156 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Doesn't EBay have a Eurpean Clone? I thought I remember reading something about that in a post by one of our Euro friends. Another resource are local and regional web sites. I post on a regional web site that's classified are FREE, and have sold some gear to local players, and not have to worry about EvilBay's high rates, or getting paid. Also, Check Harmony-Central's Classified ads. Obviously, the Buy/Sell ad's are posted by pro and semi pro players, so you'll only get the fair market value, whereas Ebay sales can go beyond what some gear sells for new. A lot of people are clueless to the actual worth of gear. Mike T.

DafDuc Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I paid $125 US for a used RNC last year. I played in an 8 piece horn band. We would often get bored. So...three words: "Tower of Polka." - Calumet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clusterchord Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 RNC Compressor i'll just say this - i find any discussion of the price pointless, since even if it costed $400-500 it would still be a great value. truly the most transparent compressor in the sub 1500 range, as people usually say. i have it inserted on my master A/D, all the time. most stuff gets some easy comp. it can also do great (stereo mix) pre-mastering compression. "super nice mode" is a killer. while you're at it, buy two! it's worth it. http://www.babic.com - music for film/theatre, audio-post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spirit of Cuahtemoc Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 If anyone here is interested, I'm selling most of this stuff. Obviously postage would be expensive unless you're in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
