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

Maybe try German Ebay. Stupid German money never is more stupid than on Ebay on sunday afternoons.

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.. :)
