Hi.

A friend of mine has found 4 still-sealed originally boxed 10GB units in his loft while he was clearing out, and has asked me to mention this. He wants to sell them, but I'm not sure what the current going rate is. Thoughts?

I think they've been going in the $200 range of late over here, or about UK150 or so over there.

Or maybe my memory isn't quite right. smirk

Hi,

Very interested in these.
Could you tell me when they date from?
price is not likely to be an issue!

Best regards

Paul

Is everyone else being too polite to speculate here? :-)

With a name like "PAUL A", price should almost never be an issue! smile

Crap. Rich guys and their 757s get all the Empegs.

Patrick, I don't know what the "market" is on a 10G, but please count me in. I only have 3 Empegs. Need 4. No reasonable offer refused. Waiting on delivery of 2nd remote display kit so I can install in a Cessna Which I will then of course need to buy. Then learn how to fly.

Paul, I will meet you over South Lake Union for our much-discussed dogfight. Your turning radius is the shit.

I am interested in one of the new empegs. I do have two already; one with 8 years use and one rarely used backup. Still, both have slight problems, and I'd really like to have a pristine one for posterity. I do plan to use empeg in car for the rest of my life, so I'd better have extra in case one wears out. Not likely, I know.

To avoid taking an empeg from someone in greater need, I can put my spare up for sale. The only "problem" with it is the IDE header was resoldered. Heck, that's not a problem, that's a feature.

Please let me know the price, in miserably worthless US $.


Why does the lack of traffic on this thread make me somehow think I've fallen for a spoof.

Hi,
Sorry I don't get why my name should have any bearing on the price?
Also, I'm not a "rich guy".
This is a genuine offer!
These are wanted by myself and a friend.
If we don't, in the end, need all of them, they'll be offered for sale at whatever we paid for them!

The joke was that you share your first name and initial letter with a certain Mr Paul Allen of Microsoft fame who was in the past rumoured to be an empeg owner. That is why people were talking about personal 757s and the like. It wasn't anything personal.

The fact that you said "price is not likely to be an issue!" also tied in well with your user name...

Hi,

I've been looking for an empeg. Is your friend still looking to sell his 10GB units? If so, can you put us in touch? If not, does anyone know where I can get an empeg?

Thanks,
dcempeg
