What’s the value of Voyagers OS now? I’m thinking about owning one. The seller wants 2300 euro for it. It’s slightly less than used performer ed, but I don’t need any midi connectivity nor patches. I like the clean faceplate of the OS. What you guys think?
The value is equal to your agreeing on price with the bloke selling it such that the condition meets what you are after.
I say that because I’ve seen them for $2000 on eBay (in the states), and have seen full blown Voyagers for not much more than that.
At some point, maybe, the VOS’s will be coveted and demand a premium.
I bought one new some years back, traded ‘up’ for a Voyager; realized my mistake. Ultimately, I bought a vintage Minimoog.
I would definitely recommend a VOS, they are great but 2300 Euro sounds a bit high unless of course, there are only 10 of them in Europe and nobody is selling them? Have a look at the owners serial number registry in this forum to get an idea of the amount of them in Europe/UK vs. elsewhere. Remember, there were only 500 or 600 or 700 of them made. Literally multiple thousands of the Voyagers in various format/special editions made.
Also keep your eyes out for a relatively low serial number if you can manage. Mine was 379 and it was solid as a rock. I think I read somewhere her that somebody with a newer serial # was hit by the Ti chip analog board problems. I experienced the Ti chip problem in my Voyager (which was a Select from Sweetwater) so in that regard, older is better.
Not sure where you are located but this one appears to have NOT sold: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moog-Voyager-Old-School-oryginalny-flightcase-/321981840624?hash=item4af79cfcf0%3Ag%3A4NUAAOSwqrtWnsNy&nma=true&si=J%252Fdx83UgQ0FEaeXVKGNqCOPqBG8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Looks to be just slightly more than 2000 Euro and includes a flight case. Finding one ‘in country’ I suppose is best due to potential tariff and shipping hassle.
