Re: Re: hello everyone...... advice for newcomers

I bought mine on ebay for 600, shipping included. It
was opsys 1.2 and no addons altho the seller included
some nice dance and groove software he had with it.

Some considerations: most important - does it have any
add on boards, exp or moss or whatever. That drives
the cost up at least 100 bucks. Op sys 2.0 is a nice
to have but pretty easy to download and do yourself if
not included. Manuals are available by download.

Look for home user, smoke free usage...probably goes
without saying. Steer clear of anyone with no feedback
or negative feedback and you will be ok.  Although
knobs and keys can be fixed and replaced, don't trade
price for a broken key...buy one in as pristine
condition you can find. It is worth the extra 50-100
bucks to have some peace of mind. Finally, be careful
about shipping costs. A fair costs is in the 40-50
dollar range. Someone asking more is trying to make
additional money on the shipping.

That's all I know.

cheers,
Steve
