Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I have not kept track of e-mu on e-bay for a few months; you can do 
that. However, I can share some bit of history.  

During the early summer, a couple of people (mainly one in the US 
and another outside) started cornering the market on E-Mu ROMs and 
P2K hased gear. The one 1n the states paid more than what the going 
rate had been up until he started corniering the market. Obviously, 
he relisted the items for more than he paid for--a nice markup for 
his efforts. The net effect was to bump up the price for all roms 
and e-mus with roms. 

I assume he is still in the business; you can check that out if you 
search "E-Mu ROM" on e-bay. His strategies included contacting 
sellers and having them end their auction early. (One person who 
ended an auction early, I believe, even gave him feedback saying he 
was the nicest e-bayer he ever met--or something like that.) 

So, if he is still in business be very careful about having a low 
Buy-It-Now price (or whatever they are now calling it now). 
Otherwise you might sell it to someone who only wants it so he can 
jack up the price and resell it.  

Personally, I'd rather see a member here sell it for more and 
another member buy it for less. By cutting out the middleman, it can 
be a win-win deal for members here.

To arrive at a fair price (not an inflated one), I recommend looking 
at the buy/sell figures on e-bay and split the mark-up down the 
middle.

Of course, if no members are interested, I'd be happy to get back 
into the e-mu e-bay research and suggest a BIN price that will 
probably keep the middleman from scooping it.

Why am I willing to do this? Because I needed to replace a ROM that 
went bad and became disgsted by the middleman's selfishness by 
attempting to corner the market.
