Would all depend on its condition I guess. I wouldnt expect much more than $2000, but it all comes down to the right buyer. Good pics will make a difference when selling.

Well, here would be a start. Good pics and a realistic price will help. Condition, history, mods etc...
Also try blargbay if you have to, or possibly aussie gearslutz, Mixmasters ......

Its funny how you can change one letter in one word of a sentence, and it can mean a totally different thing.

Possibly not the best indicator of current market prices.

Nope, that's a 32.4 (live desk) not an 8 buss (recording desk)

I sold a 32.8 with meterbridge and factor stand for $2500 about 3 years ago. Wouldn't expect much for one now though.

I didn't think they were any good - never used the others.
