Mix + second hand values?

Well the stuff works, is well known, will run PT 6 Will it hold its value for a long while...? I kinda think so,

I think the refurbed systems hit used prices below the belt but since they've all gone, I reckon they'll bounce back a tadge. As with a lot of things, it's all in the confidence and patience of the seller and the balls of the buyer to acheive a "fair" price. I think there's still a *lot* of mileage in Mix systems in spite of HD being around. Cheers, Mike

Hi all, Well I do have to say, the mix systems will quickly lose their luster once they are discontinued, that's just how it goes. All those die hards will give you the scoop that there are too many professionals out there using it to lose it's value, but come on! With the price point and doubled power of the HD systems, how could anyone think of going with a used mix system at the prices people put them on ebay for! I mean it's a joke to me that someone would pay anywhere from $1600 to $1800 for a mix farm that has half the power of a HD card. I think in the next 8 months you will see the prices on used mix system cut to half of what they are selling for now. Basically even though I know digi will love this but sell your system soon if you are looking to get some money back on your investment cause in 3 or 4 months I think ebay will be flooded with them! Unfortunatly that is the nature of technology, it sucks that we are so heavily vested in it, so basically the smart ones have to be a bit ahead of the curve. I loved my MIX+ but I was happier to get my new HD2!!!

i keep seeing Mix Farms selling for $1600 or more on Ebay. i've heard that they sell for $1500 or less. even as low as $1200. but i never see these prices when i get on Ebay. i hope the prices do drop to half what they are now. they're bound to do it sooner than later. still, even the present used prices are quite a bargain considering how freagin' expensive the HD hardware is. from my standpoint, if i buy a Mix Farm some day for $1000 or less and the price goes down to $500(i can't imagine it going down more than that for many years) i won't have lost much investment. of course, it's much different for those who bought MIX stuff new. so i'd say the final stage of getting something barely reasonable for MIX hardware purchased new is coming to an end.

My mix system is paid for many times over. It still does the job. HD would be nice, but business is slower today and the upgrade headaches greater. I'll wait and let the mix system pay for itself yet again. And when I sell it (if I do) for a 1/10th what I might have gotten for it today, well so what...
