Some kid is going to pick up an Akai Timbre Wolf in 15 years and change the world.

Cant see why not. I can remember when everyone thought the SH-101 was a piece of cheap crap.
I legitimately love the timbre wolf!
Putting my money on OTO Machines, especially the Bam.
A very small company, High Quality, they are always building to demand, and will probably evaporate when they retire or move on.

Yeah no worries. Only jesting. All I meant was something considered bad today could start the next revolution ala TB-303.

Haha no I know, but I thought itâs worth saying I like it. I feel like Iâm running a few 303s at once even though theyâre very different.
Anything from Teenage Engineering capcom pocket operator series. Especially when you have the original box for them. PO-133 Street Fighter and # PO-128 Mega Man. Toy collectors and synth nerds will both compete for them in bidding wars. Also Microsampler, since noone seems interested in making this kind of thing (that should be a no-brainer) but just a bit better though out. edit: not that these will be worth more than some kind of moog but i can imagine they will rise quite a bit from their orignal value

Depends on what gets discontinued. If the Volcas get canned I think theyâll become super collectable.
Good eye on the Nord Drum 2. That thing has already gone way up, and I anticipate will keep doing so.
Two concepts we can apply more broadly there - 1) It was the last of its form factor as a drum module from Nord, and 2) it was coopted by a new and different buyer than its original intended audience, in this case modular/eurorack folks who loved the trigger inputs rather than drummers.

Iâve had both the TR8 and the TR8S. Itâs tricky. The 8S is objectively âbetterâ in a lot of ways. Being able to use my own samples, the FM engine in the 2.0 firmware. Not being ugly as sin. Itâs all great. But I sometimes do miss the 8 because the muscle memory you develop on it is amazing, and the specific controls by drum type are really intuitive. Very WYSWYG UI, which you just donât get enough of these days. Could definitely become a classic.
Try building a kit you really like and just stick to it. Wonât take long for the muscle memory. Treat it like your own personalized TR.

I expect the DSI Evolver prices to still go up especially Poly and Mono Evolver keyboards.

I can see the op-1 going for 3k+ in several years if itâs discontinued for real.
The battery will need changing by then

Havenât seen it yet in this tread but Avalon Bassline will only grow to be more disirable until a better solution comes along.
Also seconding, MDUW, perfourmer mk2 (if mk3 doesnât come).
I can see strymon timeline/bigsky and eventide space/timefactor becoming classics too.
