Fair price?

I'm on the verge of picking up a second hand 909.

It has 256 Mb Ram and a 128 Mb Smartmedia card..

Is 600 euro a fair price?

I never heard of 909s with RAM and Smart media card....
Is it ia TR-909?

i've seen them go for around 600 or so, i dunno if you'd get one as cheap as 300 though, but im not sure they are that good or if they have much resale value.

you'd pick up most of a vermona or machinedrum with that money.

there not as good as they look. the korg EMX and ESX kicked it's ass, they are much better value, easier to use and imo sound better. but the 909 is more flexible.
