There is no love purchasing a Fractal FM3 Mk II

Wow, been searching everywhere for a decent price on a new FM3 MkII. They are all full retail, even more, a lot more if you're a sucker! The best I found is a B stock item on Fractal FM3 with full warranty from Fractal for $999. I don't need it it right now, though it would be nice, so I'll wait around on the sidelines and see what comes up.
 
When I sold my AXE-FX II, I was surprised at how close to new I got for it. The FAS stuff tends to hold its value pretty well. I think some of it is that overseas buyers can pay more to buy them used from the US, and still pay way less than they would at home, if they can even get them there. Also, there just aren't as many of them out there compared to Helix. Good luck!

No lie—I sold my AXEII one week before III came out lol
 
I sold my FM3 right before the MkII came out. You can probably find the Mk I for decent prices.
 
DANG!!!!! There was a FM3 mkII on reverb for $860 and I thought about getting it but by the time shipping and tax was added on it went to $960 which gave me pause. So I decided I would go out and run some errands and if it was still there when I came back I would get it. DAMN!!!! it was gone. I should have struck while the iron was hot. Oh well, I'll keep looking.
 
You can typically buy a used Fractal unit that is still being made, test drive it for a few months and pretty much get back everything but your shipping costs.
 
I saw a mark I for 600 on FB. I have a Mark I and it is 100x more than I will ever need. All the sounds and effects are the same.Go with that unless you really need a Mark II then just buy a new one from Fractal and get the full warranty.
 
Mk l is more than enough for what I use it for, but did aquire a Mkll from my guitarist when he passed and will keep it for
ever, also aquired a AXE lll from a trade and wow thats a monster in the studio

Nah, I'm one of those "latest and greatest" guys. Have to have the best even if I only use 2% of its capability. :)
