Yamaha QS300 question for musical types

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'm thinking of selling my Yamaha QS300 (plus stand). Any ideas what price I should be asking for such a thing? (oh yeah: vgc, full working order)

In 2002 someone was selling one for $150 (about fourpence ha'penny in old money) so somewhere south of that. 50 quids would probably be reasonable.

Hmm.. tempting.. if it's still around in a couple of months, I'll get it, when I've moved to uni :)

I'd get it now but I've no room, apparently :|

No, I was always something of a traditionalist when it came to making music.

I can burn you a copy of some Jazz Funk Greats if you'd like, though?

It's not small - about 42" long (that's 1 metre 7 in new money) so it does take up a fair bit of space

Well, if you still have it in October, I may take it from you. So long as it can do something more than just a normal keyboard, make some weird sounds, etc.. :)

I need to know...
