I had to respond because you posted the same message 3 times.
Hardware samplers have been replaced by software samplers with the arrival
of powerful computers. Even though some people say that such and such
sampler has the ³phatest² filters or other gizmos, it¹s nothing but an
algorithm (with maybe a touch of magic). The only advantage of hardware
sampler, in my opinion, is the fact that you have a dedicated, specialized
computer. Even though you have to use mind numbing push buttons to program
it, it is 1000 times more stable than Windows, and that's a good thing.
I doubt you¹ll even get 150$ for your sampler, but don't let me bring you
down, you should try ebay for best results, unless you live in Guam.
Just to give you my experience, I sold an e-mu e6400 with 64meg ram, dual
hard drive and upgraded flash card, for less than 300$ on ebay. That was a
3000$ machine...
Cheers
