What is the resale value on these units?

 

[RectoStudioGuy]

I picked up a used one, in great condition, a couple of years ago for $550 I believe it was. I would Imagine that you could find it cheaper it you looked hard enough.

Wow, didn't realize they sold that cheaply. Aren't they $1300 new?

 

[RectoStudioGuy]

I think it's right around there. I believe people get frustrated with the unit or opt for the Triaxis.

I picked one up for $510 used on Craigslist. The resale is extremely low for these units.

Well bought. Taken enough time tweaking, as with all Mesa's, it does well IMHO.

I wonder why?

It's a crowded market with a million choices, these things are mostly fairly old and not terribly flexible - and they aren't really a collector's item. If they are $1300 new, anything above $500 is a pretty good retention of value. Compare it to most things you buy and the value drops accordingly with time.
