Question - to anyone really and thank you again for the heads up. Just wish I was fully funded at the time. What is the typical price range? Is $800 for in studio only except x2 live a lot? Thank you again I hope you are doing well
Well, I purchased two of them and I was able to get each one for under $700 but there was a good amount of effort/trust on my part for one of them and the other one came to me through this forum at a pretty good price after using the WTB option (they were sort of local to me).
I see them mostly listed for around $750 these days but they can be purchased for less than $700
if you wait long enough for one to show up on eBay, Reverb, or here, however, you need to add tax for eBay and Reverb (shipping is usually free) and shipping for here.
You also take chances on purchases through here if you don't know the person or if they don't have any references.
I had over 4 "shady/questionable" people contact me through here that were selling the FX8.
I knew they were not legit since they were new members with statements/language that sounded just like those emails you would get from someone that wants to send you extra money for your item
You should have bought the one from the guy that I gave the heads up for here since it was "mint" condition and you were provided a reference.
I think $800 is about $50 more than what I would have paid for one and I am assuming shipping is included BUT these units do not come up a lot and if it is in excellent condition then it might be worth the $800 (I do not purchase used equipment unless it is in excellent shape and I have a good idea of the history of the device).
There are ways to check for sales histories on eBay and Reverb so you could check there and compare as well.
Well, I hope you find one since they are pretty stellar!!
