They are $1000 USD new right now. Plus exchange, shipping taxes and other fees, $1200 could be a savings. What's warranty and a new unit worth?

FM3 Mk II TURBO - Amp Modeler / Multi-FX / Floor Unit

Jeez, I just bought mine before Christmas. That's a good deal. Not earth shattering but good. Anyone thinking of jumping into multi-FX, this is the unit to get.

 

I'd rather buy one new at $999 and get the warranty.

 

That will be $1271.00 CDN + $80.00 shipping + $150.00 or so in duties and taxes. So probably around $1500.00 CDN all in. The warranty then would cost you about $300.00. Probably more as the seller would likely negotiate a little.

 

Fair warning...I bought and sold one of these and after selling the PSU fried. I couldn't tell you if that was user error or defect but since you can buy them new with no wait now I wouldn't be taking the risk.

To be fair...I think Fractal fixed it under the original warranty...but time and shipping were on the buyer...

 

$300 for warranty AND a brand new unit.

 

Mine ended up costing~ $1600 all in. Sucks that Fractal doesn't transfer warranty, but maybe to some saving the $400 is worth the gamble. I've never had issues with these types of devices before, unless you get a lemon that's DOA. I'm sure it'll sell quick enough. There's a couple more in Ottawa listed right now at $1550 and $1600. Those people are out to lunch if they think someone will pay full price for a unit with no warranty that is currently in stock.

 

$1400 CAD new with full warranty. I just ordered one, but it is B-stock (superficial or topical scratches only, which gave me $100 off). I can live with a few scratches, half my gear is like that, lol. I'll be selling my Axe-Fx II - Mark II, as a result, but I'm curious how much I can get for that. I've been seeing them listed on Kijiji for about $1650, which seems steep (considering you can get the FM3 for that at most, and it's all the new tones).

 

And then you have this guy, selling a III version for $3k CAD, although the V. III - Mark II version is out for $2k USD. I prefer a rackmount, but at less than half the price (and I don't need all the power of the rackmount), I'll settle for the FM3.
