The buy it now price???????

Some keys are sticking and it needs a new internal battery.....Woo you can exclusively own this all for a discount price of £525
Does this price include a whole studio of 01w's?????
Has this guy just landed on the planet or what!!!Iknow some people value their instruments,but c'mon does the seller really expect it to sell at that price....you can buy a secondhand Triton classic for less than that!!!
01w in mint condition would be lucky to fetch £200 nowadays!!this thing is 14 years old!! its not like its a vintage model

The only issue is that the second A# key above middle C is a bit sticky. This may need replacing, but I think it just needs a clean, as there is still some springiness there. The unit also requires a replacement internal battery.
525 £ ??
I bought mine 400 euros and I thought it was too expensive (but really wanted one). It was sold with 2x2 expansion cards though. And needed some cleaning as well.
That price is absolutely ridiculous. The starting bidding price is more reasonable.

Nah, I think the man took this price to show he didn't want to sell it to a low price because he maybe is still in love with it and has to sell it for money problems to a high price only.
In fact, I'm only imagining

I once saw a D50 for 750 euros...
and there was also a 01w-pro (with 88 weighted keys) for well over 1000 euros

LOL
A D50 for that price may be JMJ's one, or an other well known and beloved artist

750 For a D50!!!!! :oI think some people just dont have a clue about market values!!
especially 1000 euros for a Pro X!!!!
The 01W pro X is quite a sort after edition,but its not worth even the £525 of this guy on ebays 61 01w....an 88 Note Pro x would be around £3-400 in mint condition..I got outbid on one last year,the final bid was £360
When these people dont get no bids....You'd have thought they would have realised its not worth the asking prices!!!
£525 for a 61 note 01w.....lol....I paid £90 for mine last year(had 2 broken keys,but cost me £10 for replacements,so not bad for £100 UK pounds..

Wow! A D50 for 750 euro's! For that price you buy three ones with expansionboards!

01w-proX does have a very good keyboard though (seems to be the same as KX88)

Damn, thats a lot of money for that KORG.
I have just started setting up my own home studio (small scale) and purchased a 01/Wfd 2 weeks ago in near mint condition. I paid £210 for that and it came with the 'Voice Crystal' pro/combi disc, and 'Wave Shapes', 'Sound Alternatives' & Orchestral' cards (and a flight case)

Good price for 01Wfd with all those goodies!! really good!!

£210 plus cards and F/case is good!!!
I'd say average price of 61 key 01w in good condition seems to be around £130-160..
And prices will fall even further soon once Korg release the Vst version to compliment the Legacy software

Yeah, I thought I had a fairly good deal.
As I say, I have just started setting up a small home studio. Im getting the instruments first, get those out of the way. So far I have the 01/Wfd, D50 (that now does'nt work - thanks to my mate - but the synth was purchased on a whim), MicroKORG (that my wife bought me last month for my birthday), AX-1 (which was given to me).
I would really like to get a Virus KC or a TI eventually - damn I would love one of those

Yeah, the red one.
It was given to me from a friend, of a friend, of a friend (if you know what I mean
). He bought it new back in 94 and just messed around with it at home. But he dropped it a couple of years ago and it suddenly stopped working and so passed it onto me (for free). The wire from the battery terminal had detached itself, so a bit of soldering and good as new.
