Re: Which MP-7 to buy?

2006-04-19 by steve_the_composer

The one on e-bay hasn't met the reserved yet.  If the seller has 
good ratings for reliability and customer satisfaction, I would 
expect that one (with the 4 ROMS, including Protean Drums) to go for 
between $500-650. If you got it for $450 fully loaded and it is in 
good working condition, it would be a steal. Just my opinion.
