Re: Trade in value of stage 2
Don't lose money trading it. Sell it. I recently sold two different versions of NS2 keyboards on the used market for $2100-2300 range. They hold their value well.
Nords: NE2, NS2 88, NS3 Compact x 2
Live rig: NS3, Vent, Radial KL-8, Shure PSM-900 IEM Rig, UE18 & UE7 IEMs.
Studio: Hammond A-101 & Leslie 122, Yamaha CP-80, Yamaha S90, NS2, DSI Prophet-6, Vent II, Roland JX-8P.

Re: Trade in value of stage 2
Agreed. Don't do the trade-in thing, sell it in your local market. There are people out there who lust after these boards. I get great prices for any Nord board that I put up for sale, including a Nord Stage 2 HA76. Reverb.com is my guide.
I think I have gear issues ....

Re: Trade in value of stage 2
In my experience, trading in at a shop for a new instrument will get you from half to two thirds of the money you would get from private buyers.
That is, if your instrument can be sold for 3000 on the private used market, a shop will give you 1500-2000. They have to resell it and make a profit on it, and they're taking a risk by acquiring something which may be damaged or broken. It is understandable on their part, but of course disadvantageous for you.
The only pro is convenience: no need to bother with pictures, posting ads, dealing with sometimes silly request from people trying to rip you off, and having to ship a big and heavy object. Of course going to the shop, and in a few minutes getting rid of your old board and getting out with a shiny new one is a big convenience. Only you can judge if it's worth the money.

Re: Trade in value of stage 2
Nord stage 2 not more then 2000$ across the Europe from private buyers.
From shops about 1200- 1500$ for part exchange.

Re: Trade in value of stage 2
Thanks everyone for holding me back for a trigger trade in. I will lower the price and enjoy the old board as always. It will take time and that is ok.
