Strange auction ...

Strange auction ...

2008-12-06 by Laurent LEMAIRE

On fairlight for sale but is this the series 2 or 3 ??? Not really  
clear ...

The system for sale is a series II (or I, however I think it's a
series II). The monitor looks bad. The keyboard on the picture is from
the series III, so I guess there is no keyboard. The person says he
has never run the system. He writes that the system is: "In excellent
shape", I seriously doubt that.
The second system, a series III can also be bought by the winner...
I am waiting for some extra pictures, that may give more info.

Cheers,

Peter Kersten.

I'm surprised people are actually bidding on this - does anyone know what exactly they're 
getting? Most of the pictures and replies are incorrect and very (intentionally?) misleading. 
He bothered to buy a Fairlight but now conveniently claims he doesn't know anything 
about it, he "accidentally" put up the wrong pictures, etc. Classic dishonest ebay junk seller 
tactics.

I suspect these pieces could be scavenged (junk) leftover spare parts.The seller makes no 
claims it powers up or that there's any cards inside! Those thinking of buying this for 
spares may be disappointed.

Not sure it's intentionally. Sounds like the assistant was asked to sell off some gear on ebay.

This is the reply I received when I asked if it was working...not too 
encouraging in my book!

"i am the second owner 
the first was stanley kubricks daughter vivienne 
who used it on the film "full metal jacket" 
i have never even tried to power it up 
and i know that she didnt use it much outside of that film 
so i am positive that it is in greta working condition"

RE: [Fairlight-CMI] Re: Strange auction ...

2008-12-09 by Tim Curtis

I sent a post to the list last night, but I didn't see it come through.
Sorry if anyone else got it and I'm repeating anything here.

 

I spoke to the guy last night and got some info.  The unit he's selling is
the Series I or II (whatever it is.)  He has no idea whether either one
works or not, but he's convinced that they're "very valuable."  He thinks
that they're even more valuable because of the Kubrick connection.

 

He claimed that he's been receiving offers on the Series II for "over
$5000."  

 

I'm going after the Series III that he has for sale, but not knowing if it's
even partially functional, I have no idea what it might be worth.  With the
individual outputs and mono mixed out, it's certainly an early machine. 

 

Anybody have any thoughts on what might be a fair price, should it be a
complete, but unknown condition, system?

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

I sent a post to the list last night, but I didn’t see it come through. Sorry if anyone else got it and I’m repeating anything here.

I spoke to the guy last night and got some info. The unit he’s selling is the Series I or II (whatever it is.) He has no idea whether either one works or not, but he’s convinced that they’re “very valuable.” He thinks that they’re even more valuable because of the Kubrick connection.

He claimed that he’s been receiving offers on the Series II for “over $5000.”

I’m going after the Series III that he has for sale, but not knowing if it’s even partially functional, I have no idea what it might be worth. With the individual outputs and mono mixed out, it’s certainly an early machine.

Anybody have any thoughts on what might be a fair price, should it be a complete, but unknown condition, system?

Thanks,

Tim

This is the reply I received when I asked if it was working...not too
encouraging in my book!

"i am the second owner
the first was stanley kubricks daughter vivienne
who used it on the film "full metal jacket"
i have never even tried to power it up
and i know that she didnt use it much outside of that film
so i am positive that it is in greta working condition"

I Have a IIX and III system. I would think any uncomplete system would be worth not much. The III would be worth more. Since parts are very very the person considering purchasing these has to consider getting any spare parts for these very hard to find. If Peter doesn't have the parts or a holms posting you may be waiting years, and years for a extra part to surface. I would selling my IIX for 7k and III for 10K only because I've invested so much in the librarys. In a few months I will be looking to expand and possibly trade librarys so look out for a posting in the future. I also have a synclavier library that I will be expanding.
