i think the price has dropped down to 770CHF, which is around 480€.

i wouldnt buy it 2nd hand if its only 80 bucks cheaper....

EDIT: must be something in your country tho? its 579€ in the whole internet tho!

There is no way it's €579 new. Where do you see it for that price?
Here it is for around €460 to buy new:

€400 for your used Serato is more than people will be willing to pay

ok.. maybe i just watch out for the ebay prizes or can someone recommend something?

you can get traktor scratch with the audio8 interface for about 550€!

IMo you have to forget about how much you've paid for serato a year ago.

you know why and what you're selling it for.

the past has shown that the half-life period of the value of such products is extremly short. SO if you're selling it for 250-300 €, half of your new digital setup is already covered and a "newbie" has a chance to buy a 2nd hand digital dj system for a FAIR price!

thats how I would handle it and im pretty sure you easily find a thankful buyer within a few days... - of course its tempting to sell the package for 400 quids (IF you even find a buyer!) cus you only have to put one-fifty on top to get what you want! but i think thats quite unrealistic and pretty unfair too.

PS: why not putting it up on ebay, let's say for 260€ as a starter....see what happens...

thanks thats actually something ive never thought about...
i can imagine me being really unhappy because i sold it unfair

thanks for your advice , i ll probably try this prize as a starter and see what happens

cheers

prize = price

one can easily purchase Serato new in the US for $500; this translates into roughly €355...
