Think you'll struggle to get that mate, i know someone who got rid of his in a similiar condition and only got £500. Second hand prices on these type of things not good, especially when there are just as good machines out there that you can get new for the money your mate is looking for.
Steve thanks for your input but as i said it's not mine so that i'm not bothered what he gets for it. It's virtually new and i said i'll put in here just in case someone was thinking of buying a new one. They don't come up used very often so they would hold their price better than most. Mark.
