I guess I do tend to hang on to instruments myself. I have about 10 electric guitars, 3 basses, 1 acoustic guitar, a Yamaha SY77 and TX802, Waldorf Pulse, 2 Roland JX8Ps,Roland JV880, Casio CZ101 and CZ1000, Yamaha PSR550 and Yamaha Motif6. But when I was younger I did sell instruments when I needed the money to upgrade. While I don't feel so attached to plastic and silicon instruments there is something about organic instuments like wooden guitars etc. that I love because I feel they are all unique. The congas would fall into that category too.

It sounds like those congas had a good life. I have seen both Poncho Sanchez and Luis Conte in the past so they did have some very high quality musical attention.
