That almost scales in price with this insane offering:

I have an ESQ-1 sitting in the studio. It came paired with my Korg DW-8000. Long story short: two broken synths were advertised on craigslist at blow-out prices. I contacted the seller, who turned out being an old friend. I hauled both home and fixed them, and I'm returning the ESQ-1 to my friend as payment on the DW-8000. I'm avoiding spending a lot of time with the ESQ-1 as I don't want to get hooked on the breed, but it is a cool beast. Rack mount is almost always better for me as well.

To be fair, that price is well outside of the ordinary. But they do seem to be commanding three digits of late. Gone are the days of finding them for $50.
I'm hoping the used market settles down with the ass end of the pandemic, this inflation bullshit is going to cramp my style.

Small Amp
https://greensboro.craigslist.org/ele/d ... 47649.html
This is a cute little vintage guitar amp with a mic. ITS SMALL.
SHOW ME ANOTHER LIKE THIS THATS NOT MADE IN CHINA!!!
Its got a Realistic speaker in it, so its probably 1980s Radio Shack, which much of which was made by Pioneer. (Seriously) Its probably like 20 watts old school. I put the mic in front of my speaker and was already playing some "Blackened". Metallica rang through the room. How loud? It sounds like a decent quality stock car stereo. Its only like a 6" sub, so don't call me asking me if you can use it for band lol. Its perfect for an auctioneer or a person who wants to be heard above a crowd of like a dozen people talking, or if you can get them to all STHU maybe a company group of around 50 people. In other words someone who has to speak in front of people and needs something just louder than their voice. Its SMALL and LIGHTWEIGHT and easy to carry. It is what it is. Its old school, and Ive never seen one this small, (no jokes) so its not bad all things considered. It has a 12V input as well and could probably be used in a car with an adapter (not included and not tested). Ill let you hear it. Ill also knock $10 off if you don't need the mic, because that's my only good test mic. You know your desperate when your using an "American Idol" mic lol.
