What would be a good price for a MP-2 and an ADC-20 with Battery Packs? A guy i emailed sent back asking me for an offer because I turned down his first offer. So what would be a good price to offer?

Brian Skalinder · « **Reply #1 on:** July 01, 2003, 01:57:06 PM »

Based on vague recollection, I've seen MP2s going for around $400-450 and ADC-20s going for around $175-225.

As for the battery packs, depends on what size, cables included, age and usage, etc. Considering they're so easy to make...I'd sell 'em cheap.

I usually give discounts for selling bunches of stuff together because it's much less hassle than selling each piece individually.

so like 600-650 is a good price?

I sold my MP2 and Eco-Charge 6v battery/charger/cables for $600....

I would think more like $750-$850

Hey Geoff - what's up, have yourself a super-duper lowballer on this gear?

$600-650 is a very good price for an MP2 and ADC-20 from a buyer's perspective. Add some $$$ on for the batteries/cables and it's still a very good price. If I was looking for this gear, I'd jump on it.

If someone is giving you shit about pricing, tough - let 'em buy it somewhere else.

geoff piper · « **Reply #5 on:** July 01, 2003, 04:00:39 PM »

acctually I'm looking to buy it. I'm not trying to low ball just looking for a range to offer and i asked here before i offered to see if i couild afford it.

Brian Skalinder · « **Reply #6 on:** July 01, 2003, 07:43:38 PM »

Hope it all works out, Geoff - I thought you had someone lowballing you. Make what you feel is a reasonable offer - worst he can do is say no, right?

Curious - what was the seller asking? No problem if you'd rather not share.

too much for me to buy... 800 unfortunatly, i can get a battery pack and a p. mod ua-5 for less... so i think thats what im going to do

Rick · « **Reply #8 on:** July 02, 2003, 10:20:46 AM »

That's what I did. I got rid of my MP2 in favor of the P-Mod UA-5...

if you dont mind me asking what was the total for the p mod ua-5? with shipping. I'm bored out of my mind at work so i'm making an excel file with all my costs with shipping, so i know how much i need to have in the bank to buy the rest of my rig.

Rick · « **Reply #10 on:** July 07, 2003, 03:14:31 PM »

Well I got a 7-pin cable too, but there wasn't tax and shipping was about $15.

So without the cable. $565 (about).

What made y'all get the Presence mod over the warm?

Rick · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2003, 06:01:49 PM »

I thought it would do a better job tightening up the low end on the 140s. I actually talked to Craig T. He had some experience with both mods and actually owned a pair of 140s once as well. He suggested the p-mod, he thought it would be a better fit.... I also asked Oade and he thought the w-mod would be nice as well. They love the soundstage on the w-mod over there. After talking to both of them, I didn't have a clue which one to get. Ask Craig

. Having a less then stellar playback system, I thought the more detailed sound of the p-mod would sound better in my car and at home too

But in the end I don't think I really could go wrong. Both have +'s and -'s.

Another question. Is there any waiting period for a modded UA-5?

Rick · « **Reply #14 on:** July 09, 2003, 10:57:33 AM »

Depends on how busy Doug is. When I ordered one he was out of town so it took about 2 weeks. They don't keep the MODs in stock, they do them as needed.

geoff piper · « **Reply #15 on:** July 09, 2003, 11:38:39 AM »

well its offical, all i need is cables, battery and a stand

When I ordered my UA-5 from Doug (well Jim really), he said they had a few in stock but they're "selling themselves" and just flying off the shelf.

I got mine in less then a week..

mirth · « **Reply #26 on:** July 09, 2003, 12:57:23 PM »

Yeah, same here. Last I checked mine has about 115k and I can still get 30MPG. 'Course, being a stick prolly helps that.
