modular 2nd hand pricing

[Happy]

It looks like G1 and G2 seconds hands prices recently are going through the roof on ebay.
G1 Desktops now are offered for US$ 1000. G1 micro's are are now sold in the US 350 - 400 range
Many analog and other synth nowadays cost much less.
The modular forum is full of post about dead units and broken stuff.
Is Nord looking ? Time for the re-release of the modulars ?

I doubt they'd release a G3 (or a reissued earlier model), they seem to be more focused on performance synths these days; there are more people out there who just want a synth with a bunch of sounds playable out of the box, than people who want to tweak and create their own architectures, unfortunately.

It's interesting to see those prices though, I paid $1000AU a week ago for an expanded G1 rack a week ago, seems like I got a good deal..

+1: there so many little companies that are doing Modular stuff that the market might not be interesting enough for Nord. Modular seems to be like guitar pedals nowadays, so much choice, I don't even know how they are making money (Both, modular manufacturers and boutique pedals manufacturers)
