I am selling my Korg OASYS 88 and would like to know what is the current value of a used KORG OASYS 88 in mint condition with 2 GB of RAM?
Thanks and I appreciate the feedback.

For those who love the OASYS and understand why it's different than everything else, it's Priceless.
If you must sell, then check out eBay to get some idea of how much they are going for.

There are 2 on ebay:
1 for US $4,995.00 - I think the seller just need quick cash
1 for US $6,199.99 - Way more real to me, still a good deal imo
I´d
NEVER sell my big O for less than........ 50k?
Now is probably the best time to buy an Oasys. Those will become rare and rare within years.. and still POWERFUL
I mean, 4 years later and there´s still no gear that can touch the Oasys, even with Kurz PC3 (like a new K2700 without sampler) we have good improvements (Orchestral and Classic Keys sounds are killer tho) but still miles away from the mighty O!
Really, Oasys is the perfect board, and priceless! I just wish those words on Sweetwater were true:

There is no set value. Prices vary based on individual sellers & buyers on eBay.
If you have all of the original documentation, original packaging, and you take a bunch of fantastic pictures, you should probably get at least $4,500 for it.
I would suggest performing an eBay "completed listings" search.

Of course, you guyz are talking about the USA. Other areas might vary considerably. It might be higher, because the retail price was usually higher in other countries. Then again, if you live in a small town, maybe it's hard to find a local buyer. Shipping is always an issue with a large product.
Hard to put a value on something so rare and "precious".
