Mini on Mell

Mini on Mell

2016-04-08 by gino wong

You all know my M400 is for sale, so it is sitting in ashop drawing the typical oohs and ahhs of musos who visit the shop to see the machine.

So, I have pulled a Minimoog out of storage,, I did not know I had it. I figure I'll just sell it.

I am now in the position to sell a Minimoog and a Mellotron at the same time one atop the other. This is fun that I have tio pursue.

What do you all think is a good price for the pair ?

Hi Gino,

Bundling usually favors the buyer, not the seller. You may want to separate. I'm assuming you have both in good shape. Maybe $6,999 for the pair?

Assuming their both in great shape, I would start in the 8.5k range and negotiate from there if your sale isn't time sensitive.

Agreed that separating them is the way to go. More options on potential buyers too.
