    Just a though, (and I admit to not reading the entire thread), but could you not get a 'classic' synth from ebay - like a DX7.

    Very good piano sounds, and they have aftertouch etc.. (not weighted though), but they are going for around £100 at the moment, and I am absolutely over the moon with mine.

    I tried all sorts of keyboards that were a lot more money, and in the end it was the one for me AND the cheapest.

    If I'm barking up the wrong tree, then please accept my apologies ;-)

    Nah, thanks for the idea but I've already got a touch sensitive jobby. It was all the rage about 10 years ago when I got it. I might check out ebay to see what the resale on mine is though..

    Yeah! Don't you just love that! I've got 30 items on at the moment from my new business and they'll only fetch £1.50 each but i'm excited.

    OMG to hear about the DX7, I used to have one, and a roland E20...those were the days!

    Check the postage costs carefully - I get caught out every time - this time I've just copied over the most expensive of the others selling the same product £4 for a boxed cd set should be there or there abouts :confused:

    If its books/cds check out Amazon which is loads easier but heavy on the fees and you could be waiting ages for a sale.

    There is a board on here about selling things on Amazon/Ebay thats got loads on hints on it.

    Iknow it's slightly off topic, but I have a D50 as well!

    My brother-in-law and I are in an 80's cover band, and he bought a DX7 II a while ago, but couldn't work out how to get the sounds he wanted, so he gave it to me (thinking that a programmer MUST be able to do it ??).

    I got so hooked on it, that when he took it back I had to have one (I'm the guitarist, not the keys!)!

    I just love that 80's sound!

    The moment I turn the thing on, I get all goosebumped from hearing those familar sounds from when I first started buying music!

    Anyway, sorry to highjack your thread. Please carry on as if I were not here.
