If you cant see yourself spending a lousy
200$ on an Emax II, you dont deserve one.
Thats the cheapest thing I have ever heard
for a long time. Sorry for being rude.

well said. That is my boat. I am wanting an emax2 for various reasons 
but waiting for the reasonable deal. 
and I don't want a rack. 

When I have like $300 I would pay that. 
Saying 150-200 seems a little low. 
But 700 seems high... 
So I am waiting.....

That was me who bought the EMAX rack for $600.
I'm in Hawaii so, those are pretty much impossible to get here
for any price, only on ebay could I get one. But for $600, you sold me a EMAX SE with cap replacements, lcd replacement, 170 emax floppies, 5 syquest discs and a syquest drive, scsi cable and manuals. Thats a deal for me, its hard to get deals on stuff like that here. E-mu gear is never on craigslist here, and we only have one used music gear store on oahu, and I havent seen any ensoniq or e-mu gear there ever.

I bought a emax keyboard a couple months ago for $300 on ebay and the guy never sent it to me. interest free loan I guess. happens to me alot. that guy selling the EMU EIIIXS on ebay right now...he refused to send it to me when i won it for $220. he told me it was broken, after he tried asking like $150 for shipping. Then as soon as it cleared the 30 days period he listed it again. magically its fixed now..."a loose connector" apparently. yeah, more like someone doesnt understand the concept of setting a reserve price. I bought my perfect emax2 keyboard for $295.

If you cant see yourself spending a lousy
200$ on an Emax II, you dont deserve one.
Thats the cheapest thing I have ever heard
for a long time. Sorry for being rude.

  I got my Emax II with 4MB at $175 + $500 to ship to Venezuela. I install it a new back light at some $40 I believ and the 1GB internal CF scsi card to make it Turbo at some $300 with shipping to Venezuela.

  So the thing is about $1000. I haven't use it much, barely actually. In one year it have been working for no more than 6 hours at the most. But I love it, is my Depeche Mode chilhood dream come true. 

  I hope I can play in a band contest sometime this year just for fun. 

  I would like to have an Emulator III and the overrated Oberheim Matrix 12 and make some trance music with it.

  I'm totally agree with that!,
  I'm a new user of this group since I own my Emax II (6 months ago), and is clear that there are a lot of constructive comments and threads and is not a bad thing to share what the people think about of a keyboard, music style, even share the experience of how use this machines or how much people had pay to get one, etc.

  But the bad thing is the way that some people do it, using insults and not concentrating on an objective discussion that allows us to all to obtain something useful in this respect.

  Thanks!!

  ANDRES.

  Time to end this thread and move on.

  I've been disappointed in how a group that I've been a part of for 14 or 
  15 years (back when we were using Unix newsgroups to communicate) and 
  has firmly stood for helping one another started edging towards insults. 
  The reality is whether you pay a thousand dollars or nothing everyone 
  has the right to pay what they feel an Emax is worth to them, and on the 
  same token ask for whatever price they feel they should get. 
  Intentionally being offensive, abusive, or threatening in anyway is not 
  something I will tolerate through the group. There are so many factors 
  that go into decisions like asking/offering prices and to be honest it's 
  is a private matter between sellers and buyers.

  Please keep in mind that supportive discussion is what we are about. We 
  are a group of diverse people in every way imaginable and posts should 
  reflect that. Just because you personally feel a price, methodology, 
  music style, other synth etc. isn't up to your criteria, you in no way 
  have the right to use this group to put other people down because they 
  disagree.
