That IS a pretty complete package... I'm trying to do the math on the components:

30 gig empeg - $400
30 gig drive - $100?
sled - $100?
sled - $100?
original tuner - $200
coolness of an unopened EVERYTHING - priceless

Are original sleds about $100? How much are Rob's, I forget.

I don't think that you should really list both sleds in your valuation - since most empegs are sold with 1 sled, one should be assumed with the empeg. A missing sled devalues an empeg less than an extra sled typically sells for - many people already have spare sleds or docking stations that can be filled.
That being said, I think that your empeg valuation is a little low, you didn't mention the extra remote or lenses, and the spare sled might fetch more than $100. Not enough original tuners are sold to really settle on a price - the market is fickle. However, given the current exchange rate Patricks kits are ~$210. Figure $75 for professional assembly...

I don't think that you're too far off the money. I think that if the items were split out that they'd easily fetch $1k. He's limiting his market by selling it all together, but I think it'll sell.

Not sure if you can do it that way - New 20GB in box went for $550 E-bay 1 day ago and this is not an upgraded 30, but a factory 60. The Sled when I got it was close to 100 British (Around $180 US with today's exchange). Its for the person that wants it all. They are great units.

Original sleds sold between $120-140 IIRC.

Mine were selling for $70 and they will be back...

Thanks for the opinion on price - I wanted to be reasonable. I agree on the Tuner and Empeg price and listing 2 sleds. I will break it up if it doesn't sell but I wanted a person that was interested to take a shot at it all rather than having to chase around for things like I did.

Rob's sleds don't include the wiring harness. These sleds have the full deal. A true bargain at US$100 (especially nowadays).

The dates I'm given have been unreliable in the past, so I'm not even going to say. You guys may probably be on your own for harness parts though. One of my friends is thinking of building harnesses to go with the sleds, so we'll see how that works out.

this is not an upgraded 30, but a factory 60

weren't the original 60GB two drive units with 2 30GB?
Or were they sold with one 60GB drive?

cheers, Thomas

Two 30s. I don't think 60s were even available at the time.

Yes it was 2 - 30's and I have to say it is all sold except for ONE green lens that I still have on e-bay.

Can I ask if it all sold together, and what price it fetched?
