Title: Price check Edirol R44
Post by: jhfinn on November 16, 2018, 08:50:09 PM
Hey now,

Selling off the rig and down to my last few pieces. Before I post this machine in the yard looking for feedback on what the Edirol R44 goes for these days. Just have the deck and tekflexed battery cord made by darktrain. No scratches in clean condition. Any help figuring out fair price to ask appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

I got an old DAT taper that asked me to keep an eye out for one to do transfers and possibly get his feet wet again. There was a minty one on here a few months ago for $425 and it took a few weeks to sell. Well of course he said it was a bad time then, and probably a bad time now bc of x-mas, but I'll let him know when you post it.

Depends how quickly you want to sell it.  Seems like they've dropped in price pretty significantly.  Were sitting between 400-500 for a while.  I bought mine a couple years ago for $450 (I think) and thought it was a fine deal.

Just checking a few recent posts, one sold for $250 in a day, and another Oade mod for $310 sold in just a couple days.  One sat at $375 for a few months and the seller finally sold it at $275.

It's too bad these have dropped so much, but it's really a buyers market for recorders these days.  Definitely worth more IMO.

With a brand new Zoom F4 selling for $350 I doubt a secondhand R44 will even get $200 now unless a person is patient/lucky.

Thanks for the replys guys. Recorders drop in price big-time and that's why I was looking for feedback. I was always happy with this machine may just keep it to do DAT transfers.
Regards,
Jim
