What's a Roland VK-7 worth?

[Aled Hughes]

Afternoon all.

Has anyone a rough idea what a Roland VK-7 clonewheel organ in mint condition with a fitted hardcase is worth?

I know the seller and the prospective buyer VERY well (my girlfriend and my brother!), so I don't want either of them to be ripped off!

It cost her £370 around 3 years ago (I presume it was second hand then also, as I don't think they were in production), but I can't find next to none on e-bay nor anywhere online. There was one who was asking £450, but God knows if it sold.

I don't know if they're begining to get sought after or not? It would be surprising, as it's only a late 90's keyboard, and not a particulary revered one either, I don't think!

I'd be grateful for any help,

These are the only ones on ebay that I could find. Top one went for $625/£382.57 (I presume at the current exchange rate)
