Re: Value of SX-210 these days?

2006-09-18 by kmbole

Hey all - thanks for your help.

Well, I listed it for $225 (CAN) and sold it for that in two days, got
two calls, so I think it was just the right price.  It went to a
vintage synth collector so he'll give it the cleaning it needs and
take good care of it.  

I would have liked to have kept it, but this bass guitar calls to me
too strongly :)
