Just thought you'd be interested to know, XX-7s with 4 roms have been 
going on e-bay for approx $650 +/- $25.

BTW, congrats, mibrilane.

Sure but are any of those roms a protean drums rom? Plus I know the color and 
updated graphics on the PX-7 is disirable. I have seen just the rom for $300. 
Anyway its $500obo so if interested make a reasonable offer. Thanks

Yeah - I had a max bid on that of $875 and I was sure I was going to  
lose it. Fortunately I just picked up another XL for $405 so it  
wasn't a "must win", so I figured I'd do a "what the heck" bid just  
to see, especially since it was an XL with my "optimal" ROM  
combination:  Beat Garden, TSCY, and Vintage Collection. I figured  
$400 for the XL and $475 for three ROMs (including a Vintage  
Collection ROM) would be a pretty good deal.

I won it for $660. I'm still in shock. What luck!

Vintage Collection is great and uber-rare, so it's a bit mystifying  
how it went so low. But - I'm not complaining!

Of course, now I'll have to sell one of the XLs - but it's looking  
like I just picked up 3 extra ROMs for around $250! :D

Hi.

(1) The one that went for $635 did indeed have the Protean Drums 
ROM. It was an MP-7 with Mo' Phatt, X Lead V2, Beat Garden, and 
Protean Drums sound roms. (See description below.)

(2) Based on what I had seen on e-bay, when a member here asked 
about bidding on that unit vs. purchasing another unit, I predicted 
it would go for between $500 and $650. (See 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/message/17678.)

(3) Most ROMS have been getting higher prices than they did a couple 
of months ago. So, I'd say that mibrilane's purchase price is a good 
one. (mibrilane, considering the base price for the prior purchase, 
$250 more for those 3 extra ROM is a great buy.) 

If the purchase price of ROMS keeps going up like they have in the 
past few months, I would not be surprised to see an XX-7 box with 4 
ROMS going for between $650 and $800.

If you can get some desirable ROMS for $85 - $125, put them in the 
PX-7 and the purchase price range for a fully loaded XX-7 goes up, 
you might come out ahead of $500 for the PX-7 with the one ROM.

Or, if you picked up an XL ROM at a good price, sold the PX as an XL 
for $325 - $365 and sold the Protean Drums ROM for $200 - $300, you 
might come out ahead of just selling the PX.

I am not setting these prices; I am just reading the ebay market and 
calling it as I see it.

Here's the description of one that went for $635 (notice that the 
group got an honorable mention):

This auction is for a used E-MU MP7 128 voice synthesizer, fully 
expanded with the  Mo' Phatt, X Lead V2, Beat Garden, and Protean 
Drums sound roms, and updated to the latest OS version 2.0.  It is 
in excellent condition, and has been kept in a smoke free home 
studio.  Also included are the original instruction manual 
(paperback), support CD's (which include E-Loader software for 
saving and downloading songs and patterns, pdf manuals,  preset 
patterns, and OS),  a 12V gooseneck lamp, and power cord.  This unit 
still has the original plastic covering on the LED screen, and 
original box.  The only modification is a ground wire attached from 
the unit to the SPDIF output to prevent audio dropouts when using 
digital outputs.  This is a well known issue discussed in the XL-
7/MP-7 users group @ yahoo.com, and the modification was taken from 
the discussions there. I really hate to sell this unit as it is my 
last hardware synth, but I am a converted Reason user now and need 
the money and extra space in my studio.  Below is more info on this 
unit:

Indeed. The $400 (actually $405) base price is actually what I paid  
including shipping for the "just the XL-7" auction. ROMs seem to  
fluctuate between cheap and expensive - the XL ROM and the Protozoa  
seem to be the cheapest, and on the other end the Protean Drums and  
the World Expedition ROMs seem to be the most expensive. Vintage  
Collection is up toward the high end as well - one could easily pay  
$250 for just that ROM alone. That I was able to get the ROMs of an  
Orbit 3 along with it is just icing on the cake. Like I said, I'm  
still in shock over it.

It's always nice to save a few hundred dollars on an amazing deal on  
eBay. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, yee howdy!

(On an aside - I was also in the market for a Virus C, which have  
been going for $800 to $850, when I saw in the concluded auctions  
that someone had nabbed one on a Buy It Now for something like $535.  
Lucky bastard!)

In an odd twist of fate, it turns out that the first XL-7 I bought is  
a dud - some of the buttons aren't working. Curiouser and curiouser...

Is the Orbit 3 rom is exact same as the XL-7 rom techno?

The Orbit 3 is actually two ROMs by Rob Papen:

#1:  Techno Synth Construction Yard
#2:  Beat Garden

There may be some overlap with the XL-7 ROM as far as base square/ 
triangle/saw waves and some of the electronic drum samples (although  
not identical samples for sure) but they all complement eachother  
rather nicely.

This is interesting.........I'm seriously considering selling my PX-7.  Its in great
  condition, and I have the Proteus Drums, Pure Phatt, and Beat Garden ROMs.....how much do you think this setup would go for?

How much are you hoping to get for it?    

The going price on ebay of XX-7 units with 4 ROMs has been discussed 
here over the past few months. I found the posts by searching the 
arhives for "steve ebay."

For a 3-ROM unit I'd knock off $75-$150 from my previous predictions. 
Sometimes people sell P2K based shells (no ROMS) on e-bay. If you 
pick up one of those for a good price, put the Pure Phatt and Beat 
Garden roms in there and package the PX-7 with the Proteun Drums 
together with it, you might get even more. (Just some thoughts.)
