    Yeah. I saw one on ebay recently sell for $800 or $900.

    Really, with these kinds of things, which don't often turn up, you have to ask yoruself "is this a good price for me[/b]" rather than "am I getting a good deal". If you loose $100 on a friggin 808 it's not the end of the world. You have an 808 for crying out loud.

    So, really you're just buying this to say "I have an 808"? Cause are you really going to use it? Obviously they're bad-ass/hard-as-fuck, but you can get all those sounds from any website nowadays (and if you're recording into your computer there won't be any difference in sound quality). It's probably just going to sit on your expedit and collect layers of dust.
























































    ...that being said, I WANT ONE! That ain't too bad a price too.

    That is exactly the response I expected, word for word.

    It's cool that you joined the forum, just try and bring something (anything) original and you should be okay!

    You sound young.

    I'm not one to clown but TRUST me it's a good idea for you to lurk for a month or two before posting. Judging by your first 4 posts you won't last very long before getting the BAN, or ending up as Superpoaster 3.0 (you don't want that).

  • ok... i been

    YOU KNOW I'M GONNA COP THIS!!!!

    I've wanted one forever. Seriously.

    Dude has all kinds of gear to trade. An MPC 2000. I probably don't need that but it might be cool to change up the process a little. Never f'd with a MPC though. Just an old ass Akai Drum Machine years ago.

    What else should I get? Should I get some pre's since the Digi003's aren't supposed to have the best ones. Ah yeah, some effects/rack stuff. Hmmm. Gotta be careful, don't want to spend all my money but if I'm getting good deals........might as well. May not see the stuff again. I don't buy gear on the web.

    $450 + an OZ is more like $700-850.
