.. a Roland MC-505?

It's in great condition and I have a 5mb smart media card with it. Custom case as well.

I wanna try to get $500 out of it.. Thought I would offer it here before I set it up on ebay. I've used it once, maybe twice, in the last 4 years. Need the closet space for the incoming (outgoing?) child.

I'll post some pics soon if anyone is interested.
 
It certainly looks impressive. Is $500 a good deal for something that I could position next to my laptop and make custom labels like "Recurrent Photon Analyzer" and "Sub-Vault A-4, Undead Proto Chamber Release Valve" for?

I paid $1200 for it around '97-'98.

No icky club mess? I don't want some pussy Baptist groovebox. It'll probably look at me condescendingly if I drink a beer around it.
