jesus christ! could make one yourself for so much cheaper.

limited numbers combined with that people seem to want one = high prices.

ebay is another artificial factor as well. people do like to bid silly amounts and bid early as well.

i never understood the bidding early thing.
I don't think i've ever bidded for owt without, at most, 1min30 remaining.

WTF!!
Thats unbelievable. Just try Phoscyon or something, i mean that %1 difference can't be THAT big of a deal, can it?
Cause you could buy 2 of these for that price! link

I really thought that the 303 hype was dead for awhile there...

you think that's bad...

it's broken!

that's a retarded price for a 303. my friend bought one 6-7 months ago for $1000.

there's a used FR-revolution at analog haven for $535. so, for that $900 and something you could get a FR-revolution AND an SH-101 or MC-202

link

honestly, i'm no 303 afficianado, but I like the FR products better in terms of sound, and they'd sure as hell be a lot more dependable.
and yeah astroid, thats unbelievable.
Who is buying this shit???

WTF...there are a lot of rich dumb people out there.
The dollar is really low atm, at least compared to the swedish krona (and the euro too I guess), so that might inflate prices as well.

but that 303 was being sold from w/in the USA. no reason for it to be twice the going rate. if you're buying from outside the USA then yeah.. you're gonna get hosed because of the weak dollar.

well, like djugel said in another thread, apparently not all those 303s sound the same. so maybe it has some fairy dust

there isn't that much fairy dust in the fairy universe. it's even a little expensive for a devilfish modded 303.

only because don buchla snorted it all

lol.

or he gave to people in his showroom.

or to wendy carlos before her reassignment surgery?
