Audio at sales is hard to find around here. The best I've done is a pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers, a little rough, but they sound great; and a Technics T4P turntable which I resold (bought it for the phono cartridge). Most of my audio gear came down from Kansas City with me.
So anyway, I went with my wife a weekend or two ago, and as (almost) ever, there was next to no audio gear. It was a nice house, and in the large living room was a parlor-grand piano. Hmmmm... what kind, I wondered? I lifted the keyboard cover: Steinway! "Hey, is this sold?" "Yes, it sold yesterday." "How much?" "$500."
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um, a new Steinway concert-grand goes for a quarter million... I'd never thought of flipping a piano, but I am now.
