I would say over £500 - £550 if you can find the right buyer, its a decent spec.
Your looking at £800 brand new for that machine,

Matty_VTR · 11th January 2009, 21:31

Iv seen one on ebay which is at £475 and a lesser spec. Im thinking i might put it on ebay starting at £450 and see if where it goes.

Sounds like a plan mate, you should get at least £500 I would think, just the wrong time of year to be selling really.

Thanks, Yea i know. but i need to sell this to get the new one. Going be selling mid way though February.

Dont think you should start it at £450 as i think anything over that is a bonus,
Like i said in the other thread you really don't need a MacBook Pro for what you want to do,
Read the other thread if you haven't yet

I just think a Pro are over kill for what you want,
I wouldn't say no too one though and if you can afford it then why not,
Just thought i would add my opinion in to try and save you some cash,
Update to ProTools 8 too its mint,
You got any recordings online that you done that i could check out?

Matty_VTR · 11th January 2009, 22:31

Nah i haven't got anything online.. Im running protools 7 atm but i prefer using Cubase SX 3 i know my way around it alot better.

Take into consideration myspace MP3's are shit and completely wreak the track.lol and the bottomend is pretty much non existent on that MP3 for some reason........lol,

Yea i noticed the lack of bottom end.. but just thought it was my speakers. Yea the DT150's are awesome, give you a really flat response so hear just the track and not what other speakers/headphones add to it.
