Screen is apparently still nice. Ones with worse screens have sold for more. No other expansion cards. Link

“some scratches and wear. Powers on as Pictured. initally all buttons were working but I let it sit on for about 10 minutes and it started not working. the buttons did not change the LED. will need service. one slide tip is broken but the slide is still intact and can be moved with a small tipped device. SOld AS-IS, for parts or repair” Link

This one features a MPC-2000XL SE-3 with 8-output board installed. Nice looking 2000, easily the nicest out of the series with the revamped cases. Link

This would be a good deal if your name was Skyrock, however if it’s not, I don’t know why you would want someone else’s name on an expensive MPC 3000. Looks nice otherwise. Link

MPC 60 Mk 1, no description of configuration, looks to have normal wear. Link

Looks like it has 8-outputs installed, no pics of the screen while powered up so the screen could be real terrible. Be careful. Link

Very few producers know how to spell.

“Akai MPC 2000XL used and like new, with a multi card reader for Compact Flash, Memory stick . If you want to produce music it is a definate must have piece of equiptment.” Link

Looks like this one got a lot of use from a dirty hand… Link

“You are bidding on a Akai MPC 2000XL with 8 Out Puts, SMPTE, SCSI, SAMPLEVERB 4 CHANNEL EFX AND 2MB RAM.. It is in Excellent Condition, VERY CLEAN and has hardly any visible signs of ware. Unit comes with power cable, manual. I even have the sound library CD and a 250 Zip Drive and 5 zip drives full of sounds. I’m the one and only owner of this classic machine.” Link

“You are bidding on a fully expanded Akai MPC4000. If you are reading this then you probably know what kind of machine this is. I have owned practically every Akai drum machine from the MPC60 Mk1 onwards, and though for me, the MPC3000 has the edge for crunchy fat audio, in terms of features, this is the king of them all. It’s really more a fully featured midi workstation than just a sampling drum machine, but with an inbuilt hard drive, CD W/WR and those lovely Akai drum pads (assignable to 6 banks of sounds) & rock solid timing, this really is a beat maker’s dream machine. On board memory is fully expanded to 512MB and I have transferred my entire collection of vintage drum machine samples (over 200 machines) to the hard drive. Also included is the analog expansion board and S/PDIF digital I/O.
This MPC has only been used in a smoke free studio environment – there are a few cosmetic scratches to the paintwork, but basically it’s in excellent condition and comes in the original box with manual. I’m happy to mail anywhere in the world but please NO BIDS FROM NEGATIVE FEEDBACK EBAYERS.” Link

Another classic sampler for sale in the UK. Link

No information on configuration, but the seller says this is from a smoke-free studio. Link

This same seller is also selling a S2000 and a S2800.

“I bought this about a year ago and have used it in a home studio only.. a classic piece of kit.!! still sounds great.. the screen is a little dim as the backlight has faded, but it’s still easy to see and can be used as normal.” Link

“Akai MPC 60 II in mint condition . The nicest and cleanest MPC 60 I have ever seen by far . You will be surprised . Looks like it was hardly used like almost brand new .

Everything works perfectly except the lcd screen is not super bright but definitely still readable .

Was a hard decision to sell . You could put this Akai MPC 60 on display in a museum that’s how clean it is . Comes with os 3.10 and some drum disks to get you started . The MPC 60 has this amazingly warm sound perfect for drums.” Link

Starting bid is £50.00, and all it might need is a good cleaning to get the buttons working again — if you’re into fixing gear — but contact the seller to make sure the display looks good before bidding. Link

On eBay UK. Easily the best of the S1000 line, as this has an internal HD. No description of configuration (RAM, expansion cards, OS Version), but the Buy It Now price definitely makes it worth a chance. Link

“Instead of just copying and pasting the technical specs from the AKAI web site I thought I’d try a new approach. So here are some facts about this MPC… I’m the original owner, I’m also the owner and operator of a professional project studio where it has been since I bought it. It is plugged into an APC battery backup which is plugged into a MONSTER POWER regulator and surge protector. My studio is climate controlled and I unplug my gear during any kind of a storm. It is in perfect condition, I have V1.71 O.S. which I’ve never had any problems with, and I change my hardrives on all my gear every three years regardless. I changed this one to a brand new 80 gig before I listed it. I have the receipt from akai for the new owner. It does not need to be refurbished in anyway! The only nightmares people have with this machine is a crashed hardrive with all their work on it and, Data recovery is expensive and not guaranteed. You should also be comforted to know its never been in a musty old pawn shop or a smoke filled club. It has 272mb of ram, the fx board installed and a CD-R drive. I will also offer my phone number to the winner for any kind of tec support or mysteries you incur. I will also let you in on my secrets. I’ll show you how to maximize this machine and turn anything you sample or write into a killer loop in minutes. Recording music playing music writing tracks and gear is my life so it’s enjoyable for me to shed light in these areas. And in case you didn’t know the 4000 is the mothership of MPC’s, it does just about everything you need it to do. So why am I selling it? Well my studio’s core is a protools HD2 accel setup and up until now I was never completely satisfied with it’s midi functionality, they have finally changed it with V.8 So I’m moving on. So if this 4000 is your first piece of professional gear you will spend years with it, I know I did…..” Link

Not the most detailed description. “This unit was requested by a producer and used for 3 sessions. It has a dvd-r rw drive installed. It is in excellent cosmetic condition/working order and includes power supply.” Link

“This Akai is previously owned in good condition overall with average signs of use including dust, scuffs and scratches. Includes power cord but no manual. Has been tested for power.” Link

Doesn’t come with disks, just be aware that you need QuickDisks for these which are different that regular floppy disks. Link

“This item is in working condition. Sampler was kept in clean, smoke-free recording studio” Link
