Hi all,
Any and all advice on the following will be most welcome.
In a nutshell, I bought a Yamaha RC brand new about 5--6 years ago for about 2,300 GBP. This was the from the last generation of Japanese RCs before the big recent relaunch etc.
These days a brand new (4-piece shell pack) RC goes for around 2,700--2,900 GBP in my neck of the woods. I would happily part with this kit and a set of Hardcase cases for a grand (1,000 GBP): However ...
Having had a look at the local selling pages, I have seen similar high-end Yamahas (older RCs, MCs, MCAs etc) in what appear to be decent condition sit on the shelf for weeks and weeks at crazy low prices (i.e. down to 750 GBP) and no one will touch them.
My question is this: what can you do with a high-end kit when no one will buy it? I want to get rid of it as it's just not getting played (lack of time, blah), but it would be stupid to let it go for only a couple of hundred ... is it worth waiting until the economy has picked up a bit, or are these just not desirable kits any more?
