Trouble selling gear....

why sell if it's a good machine?
it could end up in wrong hands making horrible music.

but if you use it for liveshows, keep it. it sounds like a good enough reason to me. and in the meantime you can let a friend use it, that's good karma

yeah the needing money thing is kinda rearing its ugly head....

i kinda wish i didn't graduate during "this difficult economic time" as i'm making less money now than I was during the majority of my college time.

if you're not using it, it makes sense to sell, especially if you think it'll go for reasonable money
but if you see it as an integral part of your sound or working process it would be harder to let go

its easier to sell gear with the knowledge that you're upgrading/replacing than just needing the cash

if you use it for live stuff, could you do some more live gigs and get some money to help your situation

or sell it and replace it with another drum machine that would work live but might inspire you a bit more too.

so far I've managed to only sell stuff I can do without, but it's been hard to resist selling some of the least used bits when in need of money...
