Re: Old Roland equipment value

Alright.  Thanks.  So you think that this kind of equipment isn't 
really ever going to get much more money than what it does now?  My 
main thing that got me wondering is guitars value.  A friend of mine 
had bought a 2500$ guitar back in 1965 or something, and just a few 
years ago sold it for 45,000(this one however, was a brand that only 
made about 450 total guitars, and might be the cause for such a big 
difference in price).  It definately went up in price.  Then you look 
at fender stratocasters.  The older ones that were made using 
something else(I forget what it was called) went up in price a lot 
too and now cost around 8000$ in horrible condition, when most 
fenders are only around 1000$ new.  It's these kinds of things that 
makes me wonder if the gr-300 will go up, because it is analog and 
not digital.  Are there any more opinions on this?  I would like to 
sell, because I am not getting much use out of it, but reconsider 
when I think about they may increase in price, or simply the fact its 
not something everyone has or can buy easy and I have it.  All the 
same, I never use any of it except the gr-505, and that is just for 
practicing for the band using the standard jack.
