- I'd say that if you know what you are doing (and I wouldn't
- in this case) that estate sales are the place to look. This
- is because I was at one near my home this summer, and they
- were auctioning the contents of the house. There was a quite
- nice looking (and sounding, to my untrained ear) upright.
- Out of a group of maybe 50 people there, there was NO ONE
- who could play (or would admit to it) when it came time to
- auction it. The auctioneer asked the crowd if anyone could
- demo it. Nobody...
-
- I think it went for something like $200, which the auctioneer
- said was probably less than the tax which was paid when it was
- bought...
