I'll make a standing offer to buy all your used Ultras for $500 per. Good for a limited time only.
I agree. I believe $1,500 will be the going price for an Ultra. I just put mine in the 'For Sale' section at $1,500 including shipping and I even threw in a few extras. I would rather do what I want to do quickly and be done with it then lose sleep over $100 or so. (Plus one of my students is loaning me his Ultra until I get the II!)Dropped my Ultra to $1700 (it has the quiet fan mod), and even willing to ship overseas, without so much as a nibble. I think we're going to have a hard time selling them for anything over $1500, esp once the AxeII is officially shipping...
If you feel like you've got to sell it right away, you're probably right. OTOH, when the real supply situation - and long-term selling price - of the Axe-Fx II are finally established, you may find you have no difficulty getting a bit more. To be honest, the ability to recover 75% of the $2k acquisition price is almost unheard-of with this kind of equipment. Try doing that with a Pod or Eleven Rack.Dropped my Ultra to $1700 (it has the quiet fan mod), and even willing to ship overseas, without so much as a nibble.

Yep. With any other digital gear I would be lucky to get half of my original investment back after one year of ownership. And Jay is probably right. The air will clear and the used Ultra market will stabilize. For a short time I would expect to see a small panic-driven buyers market.If you feel like you've got to sell it right away, you're probably right.

I didn't label anyone "panicky". I stated the possibility of a temporarily "panicky" market which might cause this seller or that to drop their price too low.(Dutch) BTW, labelling people "panicky" or other because they want the new unit is a bit... Iffy... In my book.

(Maybe I should just sell my Ultra to Jack Napalm!)
