Yep, I said this would happen as soon as I heard of the limited introduction. "Limited monthly production" is interesting, just shows that even moog isn't setup for a large scale labour intensive product, all that fiddly calibration has to be done by someone

Now maybe the people who have been dumping their Minimoogs on eBay will come down in price.

Sadly, I doubt it - Original ARP Odyssey's are still holding their high second hand value. The new MM will still be too expensive for many.

Interesting - my impression of the vintage arp oddy market has been the opposite - I've been seeing them go for under $1500 lately, whereas for a long time you were lucky to see anything under $2000! Its actually kind of surprising, as the Karp Oddy, although largely a successful release, has too many short comings to fully satisfy the people looking for the real thing.

Before the MS-20 reissue, vintage models were going for $1500-$2000 easily. That release has seen the market come back down to the $1000-$1400. I scored a MK1 version in perfect working order for $1000 last year. Again, surprising because of the major shortcomings of the reissue.

Now this Mini reissue however....I can't wait to hear peoples reactions once they get it! I bit the bullet and bought a vintage one in fine shape a couple weeks ago, for less than Moog's posted price of the new one. Its been a while since I've seen one in its condition go for under $4k. I had been watching auctions for weeks. I think, if anything the market is stuttering right now, as people are waiting to see/hear the new one before making a purchase.

Mind you - I still have to send mine out for minor service and modification - no one will need to do that with the new one!

I think the only thing we can say for sure is that the vintage market is a bit fickle. And no matter what, buying new or used, everyone is gonna have to be patient!

Ordered!

Wonder what the street price will be. I see they had to get some old discontinued transistors custom made.

I'd love to try one but I will never own one at this point in my life.

Waiting for the firefights over this vs. vintage pieces.

Whoever buys a new minimoog will be certain of one thing, that is you will never sell it on and get your price paid back, myminimoog cost £850 way back in 2006 I know its worth more than that now.
The vintage market is a little low for now but will pick up.

Probably true - but I'm not going to buy a Minimoog with an eye towards selling it.
