thing is people will pay, eventually when they feel they have no choice. I paid some silly prices for things (though they dont seem so bad now) because i got obsessed by the i must have this at any price syndrome. Like any good past time it soon gets eaten up by folk making a fast buck, i'm not saying it's wrong to sell stuff you've made or mod stuff for other people for money. Its just sneaky that people buy up already poor stocks of 'popular' machines with the purpose of cashing in, it makes it hard for people to move beyond bending kids keyboards, because they cant afford to, the people that do this kind of thing piss me off because they obviously dont care about others involved in circuit bending they just wanna nudge up prices.
REVOLUTION people! dont pay these stupid prices and they will have to drop if no-one buys them! Paul to answer your other question about why cram 50 mods onto a seriously inadequate machine, its because no-one can afford 140quid to maybe fuck up a dr110 and even 505s are getting out of peoples grasp (they were 25 quid when i started!)...........ok rant over, phew
