Members erok123 Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've posted many music instrument items on Craigslist at prices I think are very reasonable. It's tough sell even when your price is well researched and rock-bottom. People just aren't buying, at least around here. Eric H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What better way is there to communicate that you don't take good care of your gear? I think we've all been there. Lots of studios have a cat, but if you want to stay ahead of the game, you've got to get a more esoteric pet. Rats are at least warm blooded and fairly smart too, and they're friendly if given good care. But what they don't tell you is that rats chew on everything. And they pee on you when they're happy. I no longer have a rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he can see the 3 ads on the same page as his that are bands looking for keyboard players. He must be picky. Experienced Keyboardist Available (Tri-State area) Reply to: accesswilmington@gmail.com [?] Date: 2008-12-30, 1:08PM EST Experienced keyboardist is seeking a working band in Delaware, PA, or South Jersey. My music preferences include Classic, Funk, R&B, Pop, Blues and Jazz. I am self-employed so playing out and rehearsing are not a problem in terms of scheduling. I sing backing vocals in alto and falsetto. I perform with Roland instruments through twin Alesis300 amps with a split feed to the PA (if needed). Other instruments that I carry with me include a keytar and melodica. MP3 samples and photos can be found on http://bandmix.com/filmlou/ Thanks That guy sounds pretty decent. Listened to the sound samples on his page and although he says he only plays Roland gear - the second songs are the Nord Eletro Demo tunes?!?!?!?! haha...

That's another animal I'd never let near my studio (or the inside of my house, for that matter). I once rescued two young cats that within days started chewing and clawing up everything in sight. Unbeknownst to me, they eventually started chewing through AC adapter wires and sound cables in my studio -- they'd been doing it for probably a week before I finally found out, as equipment started failing. Needless to say, the cats had to go. Rats are another animal I wouldn't choose as a pet. They may be friendly and smart, but at the end of the day it's still a rat.

This machine functions absolutely perfectly with no flaws. There is one nick in the first pad from my pet rat who likes to chew. However this is a bite as big as a baby fly. also she chewed on the thick plastic casing of the ac adaptor. These marks are superficial and do not effect the quality or performance of this equipment. Also i drew on the manuel. But hey, maybe you like pictures? The MPC has been restored to factory settings so it has all the original samples and songs ready to go. To see all the features of this machine please go to this address. http://www.akaipro.com/mpc500 Thanks and happy music making, Holden Rat feces included!

Members LeftCoast Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 Here's one from Vancouver just today (actually cross posted from Denver). Bagpipes for $1300. While I admit that despite my Irish/Scottish heritage, I do lack a proper appreciation for "the pipes", but I have a hard time believing that any model is worth $1300.http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...390112066.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from the 60s or something, and it's really weird and I don't know how to play it. I would learn but I just turned 16 and I want to collect swords and buy a car. So I want to to sell this. So that I can buy a sword. With the money you gave me from the guitar that you buy from me. The picture is of a different guitar, not the same one, but it pretty much looks the same as the one in the picture that I posted on the website. Also I posted a picture of this banjo. Because it sounds a lot like a banjo, so you can see better what it sounds like. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the ones that more or less say, "I have this broken, abused piece of junk. Will trade for any of the following items of real value."

Members Spleencage Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 There's a store in my town called Mack& Daves. Its a department store that sells jewelry, guns, home appliances etc. In the 70's they had a half-decent pro music department. Well for some strange reason they have decided to keep that department although I cannot imagine it earns any money at all.The best was an old 16-channel broken Peavy PA console that was not only filthy but was rusted and dented as well- must have been from the early 80's. You couldnt even move the faders. They wanted $600 for it. Little do they know thats one item that could not be given away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also including the extremely sturdy rolling case I bought along with it and keyboard stand. I also have the instruction booklets! That "thunk" sound from the low "D" key is actually a broken key. It's the plastic hook piece broken off inside and the thunk sound is the key hitting metal. It's about a $10 fix with a screwdriver and patience. Changing keys on a Trinity/Z1/Triton is cake. From the sounds of this listing, this guy has been away from the used market/technology for a good while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
