Hello everyone!

I am wondering what the street value is for a mint BK9? Anyone interested in one?

overhere in Holland there are several for sale, prices €900 - €1200, only those selling under €1000 get any interest of potential buyers...


However, the US market may be a totally different thing...


Its not a very popular keyboard, there are many for sale, and not many potential buyers.. Its a strange price if you consider a ten year old G70 sells for €700

green means Sold..

Obviously prices of used gear are much much higher in the US then in europe...

I checked for a G70, they ask $1500 for that, as i said, overhere in europe they sell for €500-€700 depending on the condition...

When i look at the Ebay prices i can see there are brandnew BK9s for sale at $1700, while some used gear sells for over $1600...

Thanks guys. I've been trying to make it work with the bk9 for the past month, and just can't get over the fact that they excluded a second USB port to use wireless iPad - connection with a thumb- drive connected at the same time. Also, I absulutely hate the data- wheel. Otherwise, it's a fantastic board with phenomenal sounds.

I'll give $700. plus a Lucas Nano 300.
And a couple of mics.
And an acoustic guitar.
And a set of left-hand golf clubs.
And a weekend with my wife.

That weekend thing probably killed the deal!

You are right, that last part with the wife killed it

Obviously you haven't met her ...

I hope that Don didn't take my comment the wrong way, but I'm just having a hard time balancing music and my wife - she complains that I spend too much time with music toys so naturally I get spooked when you mix music toys and wife in the same sentence (whether it be my, or somebody else's wife) .

But then again, maybe Don has reached his spending limit and would like the wife out of the house while he takes possession of the new toy .

No offense for sure! Of course I was joking about the wife part. Actually my wife is great, and best I remember, pretty good in bed too. She's 16 years younger than I am! She rarely says anything about my music gear except maybe a "did you really need another keyboard?" I wouldn't trade her for a PA4X!

Hitman I'm not in the market right now but someday I might want to try one. One of your comments has me concerned... Did you try one of those USB port multipliers to simultaneously access a thumb drive and wireless adapter for link to iPad?

Alright Don, we gotta deal. Send pictures of the gear and wife too lol.

Kidding aside, Ted, I tried a usb hub and it does not work. The wireless seems useless other than to browse presets and play around with the apps. However, I talked to Bill this evening and he mentioned trying to hot-swap the wireless adapter with a thumb drive every time you want to save a performance. I can confirm that this works but is not really recommended by Roland. Anyways, I bit the bullet and bought a camera kit for the iPad tonight and it works like a charm for setting up performances.

If Roland would release a full app to control the style mixer, sequencer etc., this BK9 would be perfection.

In the meantime, I'll probably put it up on eBay and stick with the original plan;
Varranger + VSTs.
