ok guys, it's come to that time where i'm desperate, and i thought i'd give xltronic members first dibs at making offers on my gear. i'm putting everything up for sale, which includes the following: MC-202 TB-303 with 5-port Kenton CV/Gate mod TR-606 TR-808 with Groove Electronics MIDI Retrofit TR-909 Elektron Machinedrum Nord Lead 2x (US version with UK step down transformer) Atari Falcon030 14MB with Compact Flash retrofit any reasonable offers will be considered, and since some of these items are quite large it may be easier for pickup from Widnes, Cheshire (close to Warrington, St. Helens, Runcorn). contact me by email for further information. email address found in my profile. it's gonna kill me, but i need the money and i'm sure there's people on here who will put the gear to better use than i ever could. |

Saw this coming, dude. Sorry to hear it and good luck! |

Its a damn shame you have to get rid of such an excellent setup. You sure theres absolutely no other way you can get some cash? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know man, it really is gonna bring tears to my eyes when they go, but realistically it's more logical to sell the gear at this point in time. maybe in the future when i can afford to i can re-acquire some of them, but all i can say is - it was good while it lasted! :*( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i could try selling my body, but i'm sure this skinny set of bones isn't good for a blowjob to a wrinkly old man so the gear is the only stuff i have that's valuble! |

A pawnshop could be a temp solution... |

I know you are being nice and all, but if I were you I would really try to milk the value of your 303 808 and 909. You could get enough to put a down payment on your own apartment with all that gear. Its worth so much, and they are very nice machines, that it wouldn't be worth selling that for anything but. That said, there are some nice people at the vintage synth explorer messageboard that litterally spend thousands a month on that kind of gear. Provided you keep things within a reasonable asking amount you will get what you want/need for all that stuff. Honestly, this is kind of disheartening. I would love to make an offer but christmas killed me. I don't know how I am going to pull through this month, but I know I will. I just have to make sacrifices. I have quit smoking, so that should help. |

No. Don't even think about suggesting that. They will rip him off. |
||||||||

i know how much i can get for the wanted stuff, and i have to try vintage synth....thanks for the tip man :D |

Just ebay them and spam around a few forums I spose. If you need the cash desperately, theres no point being generous. |

Are you sure you are ready to take such a big step? Did you just come to this conclusion today? I mean, thats a big step. I take it the relationship is either going to good or not good enough? |
||||||||
|

i'd rather steer clear of eBay, for the simple fact that these items are huge and will cost a lot for postage. not only that, but eBay is fucking ridiculous for charges. i'd rather sell to people i can trust, and this community here at xltronic is the best i know |

Even a MacJob would be less painfull... can't u get one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Dude. Just sell the machinedrum and the nord lead. Those are easy to come buy. Keep the vintage stuff. All indications seem to be that they are only going up in price. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i'm ready the relationship finished in october, with absolutely no going back. check my myspace if anyone doesn't believe me. she's not on my friends list or anything. but that's not the catalyst for me coming to this decision. 1. if i keep the gear it will take me a long time and a lot of money to get it down here (will need to rent a van, pay someone to drive it, etc) 2. even if i do get hold of it all, i will need to spend quite a lot of money on cables, mixing desk, recording equipment, etc etc etc 3. i'm having doubts i'm even good enough to be worthy of using hardware anyways. yes, it's fucking fantastic to be able to use the real deal. i'll never ever forget using the gear. but come on - i'm not exactly the best artist on xlt, and i've not got much output to show for my nearly 3 years of owning the hardware due to my circumstances. i don't think my situation will change anytime soon, and i think someone else would get better use out of the gear. |

You don't need to pay for the postage though. If these come with the original boxes/packaging, then they shouldn't be difficult to send via courier. But yeah, I think ebay take around 3/4% of the final sales cost which could take a nasty dent out of your pocket. But remember, you may find you get more money on ebay that anywhere else simply because there are more people who are gonna see your items for sale. Props for letting us know though. I wish I had the cash for some of them, but i'm hardly rolling in money either :) Good luck. |

tried - they're not taking anyone on also tried Cineworld (chain of cinemas here in the uk) and they're not taking anyone on |
||||||||

postage and ebay costs arent so bad... royal mail postage will be £10ish and you can overcharge people, they dont seem to mind. Thats what I'd do... I dont think I could offer you anything other than a terrible price for any of those things, although id like a 202/606/909 quite a lot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn, Oscillik I'd love to buy the 202 at a reasonable amount to help you about, but I am v. hard up at the moment. If only this had been 6 months later. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Try ebay and specify collection only? Take some nice pics of the 303 from all angles in decent light and big it up with all the blurb, if it's in good condition you should get a grand with the current trend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it the machinedrum userwave, or the standard version? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
christ you can't even get a mcjob? Surely you have some qualifications? Why don't you just wear a suit and walk into office angels, i imagine you have some reasonable office software skills. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DAMN!..... i feel your pain and know what it's like to go on hard times. If you can save atleast the 909 and the 303 you could still make some crazy acid techno... well that and the machine drum would be sweet..... but eBay it up and get a job doing something... anything till you get settled again. be a landscaper or a janitor or anything. sounds like you've got alot of stuff to recover from emotionally. A good physical job even if it's for 1 or 2 months will help you get back into your own head again. Physical activity is heaven to those days when you spend all day thinking why why why... |
||||||||

|
Do you really need the money that badly? Fuck it yo. Just declare bankruptcy and keep the gear. Everyone does it these days. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Actually I'll buy the 101, 505 and 707. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shiiit, sorry to hear it. What's a reasonable offer for the Machinedrum? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
800 to 1000 us Don't know about prices in britain tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm so tempted to buy the lot then video myself chucking it all in the goddamn river. |
||||||||

I'd like to say "Oh hang onto them", but I think it was a foolish endeavour to pick up all these toys in 2006, unless you're already an established musician or if you've got something going on, a studio or something. This approach of "If I buy all the X0X machines and then just hook them all up.. magic will happen"... not really. I don't want to crow but then I read something like "the relationship finished in october.... check my myspace if anyone doesn't believe me....she's not on my friends list or anything." and I realise I must have left planet earth some time ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on a positive, and arguably blasphemous side: perhaps the selling of your vintage collection allows you to make a fresh start, and move on... good luck and all |
||||||||
|

I did chuckle when I read oscilliks myspace comment. I was going to reference it myself but knew you would do a much better job. You didn't disappoint. |

A sort of Roland gear snuff film? I wondered how long it'd take you to appear, you vulture! :P Still, credit to you for not being (too) unkind about the whole thing. |

Who's that gorm in your avatar? |

Ha! Sorry I really don't want to crow, it must be awful. I would say keep them, get a job for godsake, you'll have to eventually. Maybe rent them out to would be IDMers. Studies suggest there's a bedroom IDM musician every 2 yards, in Dorking alone. |

it would be nice if every member of this xltronic community send you 10 pounds/euros/whatever to help you and avoid your machinery selling... then you could make us some beautifull tunes and everything would be alright :) i would pay for it... |

Your well intentioned plan slightly falls down at the second part. |

COMPLETELY OUT OF CURIOSITY - What would be a fair price for the nordlead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how much for the tb303? hope you're not one of the cunts who thinks it's respectfull to sell it for over 1000 euro's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or the tr808 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the seriousness i am stupid for thinking that the community would understand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you want to sell anything in the region of £100 then I'm interested, and I'll come and collect it and buy you half a pint of carling with a lemonade top. but if i woz you I would ebay it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are talking about the offering them to the community but you are also obviously holding out for the most you can get. Why not just type prices in the region of what you are looking for/what you paid for them and I am sure you would get a lot more interest. |
