sniped me an AT835B for $125

[wheatgrinder]

Man I love bid-o-matic!

seems like a good buy at $125. Is it?

Iv been needing a shotgun for outdoor use..

Got my Octava 012 for indoor, and this for outdoor.

(im working on a better mic, but thats a longer term thingy..)

That mic pretty much rules. Good snag.

hey, deals sorta just find me! .. and of course, as luck would have it, out of the blue an opportunity to pick up an ME66\K6 for $200 just came my way about 20 mins ago... doh!

 

[indietalk]

It's called ebay

Do you mean the AT835b or the AT8035? The AT835b hasn't been made for a while, but is comparable to the AT8035. The AT835b went for about $175 new, the AT8035 currently goes for about $225.

The ME66 is a nicer mic and would be a better buy at $200. Just a personal observation, the ME66 is a little thin sounding for my taste (most probably would not notice).

BUYER BEWARE! Not too many folks - at least in the audio community - give up any mics; they just keep adding to their mic closet. So be absolutely sure that you can return the mic(s) if they are damaged or not working properly.

pretty good deal considering they sell for like 200-300$

I have that mic and love it... it's got a really rich sound for the price point.

Oh, so it's not just the camera gear that gets hoarded? I feel a little better now.

Microphones specifically. I still have every mic I've purchased since I was about 20.

There are mics made in the 30's and 40's that command premium prices - they still sound absolutely awesome.

I know, Im still kicking my self in the head for letting go of an original sure 55(elvis mic) that I found mixed up with the hair dryers and curling irons, at Goodwill (it really blended in, I missed it on the first pass) cost me $2. I took it home, it worked perfectly, sounded interesting, I sold it for $100 on ebay later that week.
