I have been shopping around for an entry level digital piano (for practising and performing)and have been looking at the usual yamaha p45, roland fp10 etc due to budget but I have found a perfect condition RD 300gx for £300 with stand and stool. It's been discontinued and there is very little online regarding its value! I have an amp for it so no need for on-board speakers. I was also wondering how old it is likely to be and whether the tech would still be up to par.

Any help much appreciated!!

I am not familiar with the RD-300GX. However, I can add some links that might be helpful:
The two products were apparently released around the same time (Jan 2008). The product pages contain the technical specifications, and links to brochures and support documents. It looks as if the RD-300GX was a light version of the RD-700GX. It uses a different keybed and has fewer sounds. The sounds of the RD-300GX actually seem to be closer to the RD-700SX, which is the predecessor of the RD-700GX.

I actually own an RD-7000SX, and on the local used market, they are sold for the equivalent for 400 GBP.

The RD-300GX seems to be designed as a stage piano with 110 different tones and 3 layers. If you have no use for the additional tones and layers, then I think a used FP10 for 300 GBP is better value for the money, because I guess both the keyboard action and the sounds on the FP10 are better than the RD-300GX.
