Where are you seeing Arp Odysseys at $1300 or cheaper on ebay.chiasticon wrote:so has anyone noticed that there seems to be way more arp 2600's listed on ebay recently? i see at least a few a week. granted, they're all $8k+... anyway, my hunch is that people are seeing how well the ms20 re-issue did, how good the karp ody sounds and are thinking "sell high now before they do a 2600!" if you look, original ody's are still pretty pricey, but original ms20's really haven't gone up in the last several years. i paid about $1300 for mine back in 2009 and i think you can get a pretty mint one for even cheaper now! anyway, just a thought...
related: i do hope they re-make the 2600, with all the filter options included. i have an original, but would really love a counterpart. i briefly had two and it was incredible but unjustifiable, money-wise. if one's a re-issue that's sub-$3k instead of $8k+, that's a different story...
Most I've seen are averaging $1800 and up.
You got a great deal, even though it was 5 years ago.
I don't think people will be dumping their Arp 2600's for ANY reason. They will always be the holy grail and hold a relative good value, and a re-release won't knock the prices down for real collectors.
As we've heard from comments from owners of both the original Odyssey and the Korg version, the original still has the edge a wee bit in it's sound. Most reasons given are the age of the electronics.
