I paid 475 for mine and it was damaged slightly in shipping. I love it! I think it's a great mixer and extremely flexible. Has phantom power lots of routing possibilities and a talk back mic
If it's local, I'd snag it. Actually, if it's in Cleveland and you don't get it, I might be interested in it!
I have all 3 in the 300 series already, with my 312B as my studio console. But it's having some master fader issues...so .... that's why I'd be interested in another one, or even just some parts.
Sorry- I digress...
If you get it, you won't be sorry. I love mine. Very rock-and-roll sounding, especially on drums.
Let us know what you do!
PS- I paid $300 something for mine and I drove to Chicago from Cleveland to get it!
