I would say anywhere from 700-1000. I could be off, though.

[marc0789]

got one to sell, or lookin' to buy?

[Tim]

MicD is about right...

paging E-Scott.

When most of the used ones sold back in '02, the going rate was about 900. I sold the one I had about a year later for 750, but I was desperate (it was actually yours, Marc. I still have the reciept).

[Tim]

they were damn expensive units when they were new but the bottom just dropped out on them in the used market.

V2's were $1200 new... and now $650 is top dollar used. But the ad2k's were $1700+ new...

Kevin, what's the lineage on that thing? I know it was sonic sense>me>trevor>?>you?

[Mic D]

I sold it to Brian Watson but I don't know if he still has it.

Something tells me that thing is long gone.

[Mic D]

I almost bought the one george had before I bought yours, Trevor.

Dustin  --  You're all over the place lately:  you thinking about upgrading/changing gear to modify a particular aspect of the sound you're achieving in your recordings, or upgrading/changing gear for the sake of changing gear?

Just curious, King Gear Slut.

1500 for me--told him i sold one for 800 two years ago.  didn't hear back.

Dustin, I think you would be happier with the v3, although since you seem intent on uberslutness, why not 148->mme, or mmp->mme.

[caymanreview]

i think i would be too, and at 1400-1500 for an ad2k i wouldnt even think twice about going with a v3

So what's everyone's opinion on a fair price for an AD1K?

that depends, i was offered 2 before i went with the mme, one had the crystal and board replaced recently and was under warrantly from apogee for another year, and he wanted 700 and the other was a platinum ad1k and he wanted either 6 or 650 for it

[marc0789]

fair price for a 1k, no new wc, no new digital board, but good cosmetics, honestly, = 300 or so.

new clock, no new board, = 400/500

new clock, new board = 600 max.


my opinion, based on lots of buying, selling, looking, etc. and if you factor in that apogee won't fix them or apparently supply prodig with parts, maybe even less. I wouldn't advise anyone to get one. The problems and expense you are guaranteed to have at some point, sooner or later, will outweigh the hassles of the mme, assuming that you are after that uv22 sound.

ad2k:

I paid 1000 for mine about a year ago. It was a year old at the time, and the guy that sold it to me included 2 7amp/hr batts (12v) and 1 5amp/hr batt, and the 12v smartcharger.
He also included the shipping... from milwaukee>Los angeles...

At the time i thought i did really well but this thread is making me feel like i overpaid
