I want to know what is the lowest price a tb-303 goes for now a days.About a year ago some guy offered me his TB for $600, but at the time I didn't have the money and I also thought it was way to much since I was already using Rebirth for my tracks. But I right now want one just to add this classic to my collection. So whats a good price for one?

I'll give you one for �750. I'd say that a very good price would be around �5-600.

Buck 'n' a quarter...paying $1,200.00 US for a 303 means you have no common sense...

That's what I thought. probably now the most I would pay is about $500, and only because they are hard to get!!

Even that's a little high...I'd go for $250.00 US, and for the same reason...

you are all fucking retards. $250???? @%^#$!%!#@!!!!!!!!!! Man, I don't know what planet you're from but you're definitly lost. The reason a 303 goes for now is cause of it's rarity, unique sound, and age. If you walked into a antique store to buy a pop. Do you think it would cost $0.50???? Um, I think not. Try maybe $20.00? maybe more? depending on it's rarity. That's the same reason a 303 is there. It's not out rageous, it's kinda normal. People will pay for rare items. There not crazy, if you like something enough, you'll pay the price for it. If you'd only pay $250 for one, you obviously could care less about a TB and probably shouldn't be on a TB-303 chat site. So go find another chat to blable you're poor ass at. And if you can't find one, reply to this and I'll go make you one. Maybe I'll call it something along the lines of "I'm lost and cheap"? Or something. But until then, straiten you're head, and realize that a 303 is now WORTH $1,000 us. Not $250. Get that strait. That's there cost NOW, not then.

Oh yeah! :
Pedicelli, you're a fucking retard. Paying $1,200 for a 303 show's how much you love the machine. Complaining what others will pay for one show's you're stupidity.

Hey man with all due respect, since somebody in perticular isn't showing respect, I feel it's cool that people are giving their opinion on how much they would spend for the silver box...Even if they said $250 or $1.50, that doesn't mean they don't love the box, it's just that some people opininate what certain gear is valued more to them more than others. Now if $1,200 for me was like spending .25 for some gum then yes I would get all the TB's I can, but like the most of ous we see how overprice it is and only wish for that one day we see a TB for under $600, at least for me it is.

First of all it doesn't matter if a 303 is worth only $250 in the US it's no use to me. I live in the UK and 303's are very rare i bought mine for $1200 a couple of years ago and i haven't seen any for sale in my area since. I am sure if i put mine up for sale foe $1800 i would have a host of people prepaired to give it to me over hear. Cause they can't get one any cheaper. If 303's still go for �100 over in the us then i am comming over on holiday to buy as many as i can then sell them in the uk for megabucks!!!

cheers

hey willy how you doin im in the UK too, im trying to save up the cash to buy a TB-303 but right now im using Rebirth which i find very good. I saw in the "Loot" once that there was a TB-303 for sale for �650 which i thought was quite reasonable. But the trouble is if it breaks down i wont know how to fix it

later.

Listen prick face, if you wanna go out and spend that kinda cash on a 20 year old piece of equipment, go ahead...buy something all banged up and have no idea where it's been.

Don't talk to me about its rarerity and history and such. I probably love the TB-303 more than you and a shit load of other people and I know a lot more about it than you do,, but the unit itself is too bloody old. If Roland made a new one and gave it to me fresh out of the box, I'd buy it. Try to understand where I'm coming from...I'm not interested in old banged up equipment.

If you wanna go out and do so, fine...shows how much common sense you have...oh, and when I buy a coke/pepsi, I don't pay 50 cents....in case you haven't noticed the trend, I don't buy coke from 1950...

Try staying off the crack, I think it's getting to ya....

Over and out, cazz'n'culo..

I paid �45 for my first and �60 for my second from crappy music shops, the 303 is not that hard to get hold of here in the uk, theres loads in this months FM, also the 303 is not particularly rare appx 22,000 were made compared to about 8000 909s and 12000 606s! The price in the uk seems to be dropping too, Ive seen them for �350 and a boxed one for �599, i think most people are getting tired of the sound (not me!). My advice if you want one is to place a wanted ad for �400 or whatever you can afford in FM, loot and SOS, you will probably get some talentless DJ (who thought he would get a deal just coz he owned a 303) offer you one.

Damn straight, but 400 pounds is still a little too much.

I've heard of the price drop from Future Music.....haven't read the magazine in a long time now since it's so bloody expensive...15 bucks an issue cause it's imported overseas.....I wonder if this has to do anything with the 777...

Also, what was FM's section on Rebirth like?
