Is the lack of flagship product with the VG99's capabilities now starting to push the price of used ones up ?
At the beginning of 2016 you could quite easily pick one up for £350 but over the last 2 to 3 months that figure seems to be £400+ as a minimum

I doubt it.

There's not much demand for the GR-300, yet, it's probably one of the most expensive (?) synths on the used market.

I expect both VG-99 and VB-99 prices to remain high, and not drop down to VG-88 prices.

The VG-8EX prices are rising too - many had expectations that the "9-09" day might yield a proper replacement, But since that did not occur, I figure our forum is responsible for a lot of the current market demand.

Some might observe Ive been posting at The Gear Page for past 6 months  - and have been tying to instill some truth about Roland/ Boss 13 pin V-Guitar systems  - clearing up a lot of false assumptions among the ranks over there. (Most guitarists still assume these are pitch to MIDI systems ) but thanks to other familiar names backing me up, its raising awareness of these unique products that continue to inspire years after being discontinued.

I landed a VG-99 for the price of a GP-10. I can assure you, here in the states while looking for this deal, the asking prices and the actual sale price are not even close.

I had noticed you around there. TGP seems to discuss Axe/Kemper/Helx/Amplifire at length at their digital forum. I shouldn't read it too much. Bad for gas....

I find prices of all gear going up lately, both hew and second hand. The FC300 is costing 50 euros more than a year back. It may be a good time to sell mine...

I just got an FC300 for £150 which is lower than I have previously seen (two sold at this price this week)

With used gear its all about timing  - being in right place at the right time with the available funds to make a purchase

VG-99 prices vary widely

But the completed Ebay auctions is a good indicator of current market trends

....my personal best price paid ....£75!!! :-) if only that happened more often

  I have 4. That should be all I need ( hopefully ) Just a few GK-3s and an extra internal kit and I should be good for a while.
