Hi Guys

I recently contacted my local sony branch, because as some of you know the
only way i get to work on some yaroze stuff is to borrow a friends machine,
No i dont own it, i borrow it.  Anyways sony tracked down a local yaroze
system, but from my understanding it was loose and possibly incomplete.
Asking price was Around $450 US ( depending on exchange rates ).  Needless
to say it was still out of my reach, as i mentioned to them that currently i
couldnt afford more than around 150 - 200 US, and for a used yaroze which
was loose and maybe incomplete, i didnt think that was too unfair expecting
to pay only around $150?

Would that be correct, or should i have snapped at the $450 US price they
were asking?  Needless to say im still looking for my own machine, i cant
borrow my friends machine forever, as much as i would like to, so if anyone
has a way to get me a machine, sony or a group member, please let me know,
id like to officially be part of this group, with my own machine.
