So why doesn't your dad go to digidesign's website and see what the current products are going for. This seems really sketchy to me. You seem more like a crack head looking to unload some stolen gear. If your dad bought the stuff, he should have an idea what they are worth.

EBAY is always a good place to look for prices. It is also a good place to sell equipment.

Also call Sweetwater or Full Compass and ask them for the prices.

There is a Blue Book of Pro Audio and most GC stores have one. If you want more information here is the web address of the company http://www.usedprice.com/

If your Dad was a saver see if you can find the original invoices for the purchase and figure a good starting point is 60% of what he paid.

Best of luck!

Well, the easiest way to determine the value is to provide a list of all the install disks and versions that you have for the computer, and software in the computer. Everything from Midi drivers to Protools.
Next, supply a list of all manuals
Now, do you have the original boxes for everything?
And lastly, what is the total amount originally spent listed on the sales receipt?

Feel welcome to put them in our used section here. Pictures would be great. serial numbers included.

Alright thank you. I'll check all of them out. These interfaces are pretty old by the way. He's had them for years. But seem to be in very good condition! He doesn't have invoices :

Ha, I guess it does seem sketchy.. He told me it cost him 60k.. but I get the feeling he's exaggerating. Maybe for his whole studio. He paid someone to set up his whole studio. Could I compare to the current products...? They're pretty old. And I swear !! I'm not a crack head looking to unload stolen gear :D

The best I got out of him was the original software box. Without the software :| It has a .. reference guide for version 6

Is you name Luke?

60k does not sound unreasonable. It may be slightly exaggerated. How old are they? Original boxes is always good and serial numbers will add to the value since a transfer of license is necessary.

I doubt you will get half the price of the original retail value.

Yessir. And how would you know that

That's what I assumed. He said 2003..? (so that probably means between 2002 - 2004 :P) And that I should just sell the interfaces.. since they're the same models and the software's just incredibly old anyway.

Serial numbers on the back of the interfaces correct?

And no, I'm not expecting even half the original retail.

I got the models: 2 192 Digital I/O's, 1 192 I/O, and 1 96 I/O.

Yes but your dad would still have to set up a transfer of license through his Avid account. This isn't entirely necessary but it would be in the buyers better interest to do so.

PT 6.9 is not that old. Not so old that it is unusable. Also the hardware may support ProTools 8. Depending on which hardware it is.

Its my business to run checks on things around here.
Forgive us for being on the cautious. This does sound a bit odd so I ran a check.

Welcome.

That being said, Its excellet gear.

if you are going to sell this, do it sooner than later, Its all dropping in price and soon to be obsolete. Well, it is now obsolete.

Hm.. ok. Chances are he doesn't have one.. and if he does he wouldn't know it. I'll ask him. I'll find a way :P

The reference book is for PT 6.0.. is that before updates?

The model numbers are 2 MH192-D I/O, 1 MH192, and 1 MH096 if that helps.

audiokid, I completely understand. It does seem iffy.. but it's what I have to deal with. I'm not getting much help from mi padre, so I'm trying to figure it out on my own. :) Thanks. And yes it is obsolete. But is there a chance at finding someone who would buy? Maybe someone trying to expand their PT rig?

Would I use this for transfer of ownership? http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=56&itemid=4987 or are you speaking of something different?

Yeah that's the form. Your dad should absolutely have an avid account if he ever had a digidesign account. Not registering hardware is just dumb. what about the card models and serials? Do you have those?

Do I go into the computer to find the serial/model numbers?

I think I see serial numbers.. but not model numbers.

BTW, is there some online documentation I can use to learn how to set PT up? I want to make sure everything's working myself before I sell it.

You can look it up in the computer settings. Mac or PC? I'm guessing Mac if this is an older PT setup.

Yep. I'll take a look... Do you have any idea where in the settings :D
