If you're familiar with the Apollo 8, you already know that this is a phenomenal piece! I'm selling the DUO version that's in the picture and not the QUAD. I happen to own the Apollo TWIN MKii as well and I've determined that I don't need the DUO. I purchased this unit in Dec of 2016 and I've never had sessions big enough that I needed the extra inputs. A lot of what I use is connected digitally so my TWIN and the Apollo 8 Quad handles everything quite nicely. As you can see, I had racked the unit, however, I use protective washers to make sure that I don't create any rack rash. The unit is in perfect condition! WINNING BIDDER MUST create a free Universal Audio user account if you don't have one already and provide the account ID and email address so that I can transfer ownership to you. This will give you the base plugins that come with the unit. All shipping documents and packaging along with boxes are included. I'm also throwing in a Thunderbolt cable because you'll need it and it doesn't ship with one! I've priced this unit for a quick sale so jump on it!!!Now for the rules.... Do NOT contact me about purchasing outside of eBay! I WILL NOT ship to any address outside of the United States. If you have limited buyer feedback or disproportionate negative feedback, I reserve the right to cancel your bid or winning bid. I only take PayPal for payment. If your payment is not received within 6 hours, I will cancel your winning bid and relist!! I WILL ONLY ship to your VERIFIED PAYPAL address! No exceptions!!! For your protection, I've been an eBay member since 2001 and I'm eBay verified as well!
