Youthful Praise Live in Baltimore (I can't speak on the instrumental part, but the overall CD is very nice)

James Hall and the Voices of Citadel (not new, but still a must-have, hot music)

Noel Jones and City of Refuge (not new anymore, but still a must-have, hot music)

Oh, and as for the keyboard, yeah, I'd buy it. I never hesitate to buy stuff from folks on Ebay who have a good rating and impressive feedback.

Okay, I hate to have to tell you this, but the $250 isn't the BIN price (buy it now), that's just the current bid. And it still has 6 more days at auction... so, it's pretty unlikely you'll get it for that price (unless that's an average price for that keyboard... and I don't know a darn thing about keyboards so I don't know what that's worth. But, if $250 seems like an amazing deal, chances are, in 6 days, the current bid will be way higher than $250. $:-\$

SirTJ · « **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2008, 11:08:38 AM »

The Keyboard looks good and all, but considering that the $249.00 is the starting bid with 6 days of bidding left, I can't help but think it's going to turn out a little more expensive. If you're looking for something instantaneous, I'd suggest using the "Buy It Now" option. With that, you're guaranteed to win at a set price.

Also, try Craiglist.

Are the keys weighted?

+1 craigslist is the best. just be careful of scams, pay in cash and have your husband with you when you pick stuff up, just to be safe.

nope, the thing said synth action, I wish they made 76 keys weighted, cuz I never even use the real low and high keys

under13 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 23, 2008, 12:05:08 PM »

Also make sure that you play the board before you buy it, to make sure it fits you. Thats something you cant do with ebay. If you want weighted keys you might want look into the Korg triton 88 pro-x, (though I didnt like the feel of them, they are still wieghted) also the older korgs dont seem to have any good grand piano sounds. take that into consideration. If I were to buy a korg, it would be purely as a 2nd board, for other sounds and not piano.

God bless you in your search

You are a very, very, wise man. I am impressed by your wisdom....SERIOULSY!! Some of those people on craigslist are INSANE fa' real. I actually bought through them before but it never occurred to me to look for a keyboard there. I have decided to go with the Yamaha S90ES...second hand that is. Hopefully I'll find the right deal, especially now that I have gotten the help of my fellow LGmers. Thanks a million to alla yall.

Maybe in one aspect, but if he said Craigslist is best, then he doesnt account for the lack of a community collectively trying to build great reputations as sellers and buyers as is commonplace on Ebay. With recourse, I might add.

Ok may I ask you something, I went to craigslist but they don't have what I'm looking for. I saw the Yamaha S08 again which is my price range but it doesn't have sliders. Is there a such thing as buying a controller with sliders to hook to that particular keyboard?

Yeah there are some wierdos there. If I'm selling something small, I never meet them at my house, but when I sold my piano I had no choice.

A few months ago there was somebody selling a Porsche on craigslist, so a couple drives to go buy it, They bring a ton of cash with them and when they get get to the guys house, they were robed at gun point. I say that to say you gota becareful.

I see your point, but I'd rather just make an offer for a quick sale, no worries about being scammed, shipping etc. And you can check out whatever you are buying, before you pay. and there are some great deals on there.

But there is a downsie, sometimes you gotta play "email tag" and thats annoying, and sometimes you have no shows, but all of my craiglist transactions have been cool

As for the keyboard, if you can get it at a bargain price, then go for it, but just because he/she says it works doesn't mean it does. Usually a bidding war starts in the last few hours on the product. I one missed winning a Lakland bass by $20 in a bidding war. I was livid. Wait until the last day during the last couple of hours to bid. You may come out better that way. If you have an eBay account, track it with thw "watch this item" feature to keep up with the price. Just know that you may have to battle some of these quiet LGM folks now. Good luck if you do bid. Another thing you can do is check out the pawn shops in town. You can find some stuff that the pawn have no idea about and get it for crackhead prices. I once bought a $900 sequencing keyboard with a case for $200 at a pawn shop because the guy didn't know what he had.

Also, be very careful if you do win. if the seller tries to bypass PayPal to receive payment, then it's a scam. You wil not be protected without using PayPal.

I went ahead and ordered myself a Yamaha M08 (brand new)...for a great price. Now I just have to figure out how to work the thing once they deliver it to me. I'm not good at understanding these darn owners manuals.

Thanks for all the help again guys, you're Grrrrrrr8!!!!

Congrats on the new board sis! I think it was a good move. I kinda made the mistake of buying a used piece that seemed great back in the day. I really wanted a Korg 01W way back then. When I saw a rack version for a couple hundred bucks, I jumped at it. It turned out not to be nearly as great as how I remembered.
