Ah, the return of "the price police". I love it when cheap people decide that a price is too high for them and then tell others that they shouldn't buy that item because it's too pricey. Why don't you just leave him alone and let him ask what he wants? If nobody wants what he has, he simply won't sell it."cheap people"? "tell others they shouldn't buy"? are we on the same planet here?i own seven serge panels; i hardly qualify as a "cheep person". and i have never told anyone not to buy any gear. this seller has bombarded the list for the third time trying to sell these panels at vastly inflated prices; he is inviting discussion by posting to the list in the first place so i'm merely responding.
and for the record, i don't think there is any doubt that a 2 year old panel is worth far more than a 20 or 25 year old panel; quality control back in the day was lax, and you may be buying a kit built by an amateur (aside from more obvious concerns such as the age of the components and everyday wear and tear). furthermore, i know of no one who collects "vintage serge" or specifically desires a "hollywood" serge or what have you. i might even go so far as to make the claim that the only benefit to finding a used panel (besides the price) is finding one with the GE pitch/envelope follower because its no longer available.
sincerely,
blake, chief of the price police and your humble SMOG moderator.
