Re-sale price…

Hello humble friends!

I’m thinking about selling my (in good condition) KS4 without software as I plan to carry on using the software (with scratch upgrade) and was wondering how much they’re worth without the software included?

Bearing in mind that it’s so cheap to get hold of a copy of TP2 now anyway?

Thanks in advance.

like 20 or 30 bucks

Thanks bro, fucking hell…

No software, I personally would pay between 600 and 650

5

lol

You have 2 uses of the software code.
Weigh the difference out. if you make more money selling it all together and it’s cheaper for you to find a copy do that.
i’d say 500-600. Just bc some people are lazy and want to get it all together not going to look for it.

I’ve seen them go for as low as $600 with the software. And as high as $750.

Give it a shot and list it for $600. If it doesn’t sell you can always go down.

So about £400 then? Damn… Taking a hit there!

8

ive seen them listed for £550 with software

9

That’s a little better… Looking to get a DJM-T1.

10

Ouch! Those are fucking expensive! I can get a Xone92 for how much those cost

11

Just after the sound card and the tight Traktor integration really. I like that it has so much on the actual mixer.

12

… so why are you selling the S4?

13

I’m always getting pops and crackles on windows even after having a dedicated partition with just Traktor on it running a stripped down Windows 7. The drivers are just awful unfortunately.

And the Pioneer mixer just feels better in general. The S4 is pretty large, considering I rarely use 4 channels it’s a bit pointless really…

14

Fair enough, was just curious.

15

i don’t know the shipping to italy, but at that price i can buy it, yep

16

But, if you’re really ambitious, you could try and get the best price out of the S4 (as close to $700 US as possible) and then scoop up a MacBook for about $400 US on Craigslist and put the rest towards an S2.

Now you have a dedicated Laptop for DJing, and you still have the “feel” of an S4 with the S2 minus two tracks, and be better off overall I’d say than buying just a two channel mixer.

17

The T1 comes with a scratch duo licence which you can now upgrade to scratch pro for free, so why do you need to keep the S4 licence?

18

Protip - changing hardware will NOT do anything to improve the performance of your software. In other words, getting rid of your S4 isn’t going to help your system get rid of those pops and clicks.

19

I’m not a big Mac fan in all honesty, and I don’t want an S2… I want a solid feeling mixer.

Oh really? I knew it came with duo but thought I’d have to upgrade to pro? Do you have a link for that information like somewhere on the NI website?

I had other hardware before and didn’t have any problems like I do with the KS4. There’s about a 10 page thread about it on the NI forums. I’m not going to make the effort to find it, but it’s there.

EDIT: I was curious and wanted to back up my statement, so here’s some evidence. Some of the most replied to threads in the KS4 Technical Issues forum… http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=284&daysprune=-1&order=desc&sort=replycount
