BEFORE WE BEGIN, SOME GROUND RULES:

Before we begin, let me get some annoying stuff out of the way...
  • If you can't see the photos, please email me! Click the photos to get large versions (turn off your popup blocker)!

  • I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL (see below)

  • NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS! If you're not from the USA and you bid, I will cancel your bid! If you use 'Buy it Now' I will NOT ship the item to you!

  • BID RETRACTIONS NOT PERMITTED -- if there are any bid reatractions on this auction I will cancel the auction, as it's not fair to other bidders when one buyer bids the auction real high and then retracts his bid at the last minute.

  • DEADBEAT BIDDERS -- PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE -- if you don't intend to buy the item, please don't hit Buy It Now or bid on the item! Let's keep eBay a happy place for buyers and sellers!

  • A NUMBERED SECURITY TAG IS STRATEGICALLY PLACED ON ALL ITEMS TO PREVENT ANY FRAUD. Breaking, removal, or tampering of any Asset Tags will void any DOA claims. If your intent is to try to steal parts and ship it back, I would move on to another auction! Once you decide the unit is good to go, you can remove the seal if you want without any damage to unit.


DESCRIPTION:

OK, now that those annoying things are out of the way... Here we go!

The GTX44 is an outstanding professional four channel noisegate/expander. Packed with pro features including variable threshold, attack, release, hold, range, ratio the GTX44 can be used as a noisegate or downward expander. You can scroll down to the bottom for the full specs and description of the GTX44, but first let's talk about this one in particular.

This unit is in mint condition -- see the photos! I bought this unit for my studio, mounted it in the rack, and never patched it in because right after I bought it I converted my studio to ProTools and used the software plug-ins rather than outboard gear. In the original carton with the original manual.

I believe my Reserve Price (which I will not reveal, so please don't ask) is fair, and the "Buy It Now" price is fair, given the fact that these sell for $499 new and given the final bids on some recent used GTX44 auctions: Take a look at My Feedback and bid with confidence! I'm a standup guy and you WON'T be disappointed!



WHAT'S INCLUDED:
  • PreSonus GTX44 as described above.
  • Power Cable.
  • Original manual.
  • Original carton and packing materials.


PAYMENT METHODS:

The total payment amount is the Final Bid PLUS shipping charges (see below). Payment to be made IN US DOLLARS ONLY VIA USPS POSTAL MONEY ORDER. *** PAYPAL IS NOT ACCEPTED! *** NO BANK CHECKS, BANK MONEY ORDERS, 'CERTIFIED CHECKS', WESTERN UNION MONEY ORDERS, WAL MART MONEY ORDERS, OR PERSONAL CHECKS ACCEPTED and NO CODs! Sorry, no international bidders, please.

I know some folks get nervous about sending a money order as opposed to using PayPal, but take a look at My Feedback and bid with confidence! I've sold TONS of high-dollar items on eBay with payment via money order and have NEVER had a problem. I'm a standup guy and you WON'T be disappointed!

Sorry about not accepting PayPal, because frankly I used to love the service, but the fact is that PayPal makes it too easy for unscrupulous buyers (AKA scammers) to rip off honest sellers.



SHIPPING:

Shipping will be USPS Priority Mail, Insured to the continental 48 States. Buyer will pay actual shipping costs between $20 and $30 (depending on your location relative to Long Island, NY), which includes insurance. If you win the auction, I WILL EMAIL YOU BACK WITH THE SHIPPING AMOUNT AND INSTRUCTIONS!

Faster UPS shipping methods are available at buyer's request (it's your dime). Sorry, no international bidders, please.



QUESTIONS/COMMENTS?

FEEDBACK / NON-PAYING OR DEADBEAT BIDDERS:

I don't like to harsh, but I've been shafted before and I don't like that even more! So, here goes...

  • If you're not going to pay, why waste my time and yours by making a bogus bid? Please DO NOT BID if you don't have the money, don't intend to complete the deal, aren't sure if you can complete the deal, or have any other doubts. I've heard every excuse in the book and NONE of them are acceptable. Bidding enters you into a legally binding contract.

  • I am a strong believer in the eBay Feedback System. I will leave WONDERFULLY POSITIVE FEEDBACK to bidders who follow through and pay in a timely manner. Similarly, I will leave SEVERELY EVIL NEGATIVE FEEDBACK to any deadbeat bidders. If I don't hear from you within 3 days of the auction's close, I'll assume you're a deadbeat and I'll leave negative feedback.

  • If you have negative feedback from within the past six months, you must email me before bidding.

  • If you have a negative feedback rating, don't even bother bidding, because your bid will be cancelled.

  • I reserve the right to cancel any bid for any reason...
