Fairlight-CMI

Hello does anyone have a cmi IIx for sale please,can anyone give me an 
idea of what i should pay for one in good condition,thanks.

Hi Steve,

I wouldn't sell mine under US 5000.- and some were sold around 6k so
anything lower than that is a good price, depending on the state of the
unit. It should definitely have a working pen, working screen and ASCII
keyboard, and a basic library. If it comes in flightcases, the better.
Ofcourse the music keyboard is part of the deal.

If units are sold on ebay for 3k, remember that you usually pay a hefty
fee for shipping or pickup as the units are very heavy and fragile.

Cases are also expensive, expect to pay 1k for good new cases for the
system unit, music keyboard and monitor. I recommend SKBs, they save you
weight in shipping and are very sexy. SKB 5820W for the music keyboard
works very well, they also stack properly into eachother in transit when
flat. I also have Jan-Al cases for the music keyboard but although they
are smaller, they weigh more because they are made of wood. Shipping
without cases is a no-no.

I have shipped units around the world and you easily pay over 1k for
shipping. Taxes are on top of that. If you need to go and pickup, prices
can double including airfares, car rentals and hotel costs, not to mention
time.

I'd budget on 8k for a unit shipped to your door, all included.

best,
Harald.
