The local secondhand shop here was closing down for remodeling, and I wanted a particular mic they had (AT 4033

), so I paid them a visit. In their desire to get everything out of the place for the remodeling, they were selling stuff cheeeeeeep.

I managed to grab a Roland SH-101 for $40 (the grey one, no handgrip) and a Roland JD-800 for $250

(nice work on that one, Eric!). Whoohoo! I love days like this!

Is that a request? 'Cos I know Emerson used a JD-800 on the '90s tours...and it has portomento, so...I can do it, but it'll be the sucky version...

In the 80's i bounght mine for £20 and sold it for £100, the only pice of hardware i wish i had kept.

I had a 303 given to me free with a 707, which was good, i sold the 303 for about £50, a year later they were going for £500.

I'd still use the 707 , but i would never use a crappy 303 unit.

Weren't you once looking for the patch sheets from the SH-101 manual? This one actually came with the manual, believe it or not!

OMFG!

These are the kinds of stories that keep me trawling pawn shops every once in a while, hoping for the unbelievable deal from a pawn shop owner who doesn't realize what he has. It was much easier before the rise of the internet. I remember being in Houston in 1990 or so and seeing a Korg VC-10 for somewhere around $40 and a MS-10 for only a little bit more.

I didn't have any money at the time.

I've promised myself that I don't want to deal with hardware, especially aging equipement with difficult- or expensive-to-replace parts. However, I would be tempted if I could find a deal like Scot's.

Damn I was at a Pawn Shop today and all they had were crap guitars at higher prices than they sold for new.

pawn shops will generally heavily overprice stuff, but once in awhile you will see things at unbelievable prices
