I found a Casio WK3000 keyboard for $190. That's what's marked and I can't comprehend paying what they're asking. $300 new. I figure pawn shop has $75 in it, as they'd give whoever hocked it on loan about 25% of the cost, as new. Is this the one that does not have a mic input? Bummer if so. 76 keys though.

Anyone know what "Auto harmonize" means for the Casio?

Also had a Mackie Micro Series 12-channel mixer, Mackie 1202 VL2. For $220. Any idea? Reason I ask about that is if I sell my PA system, I would need a mixer for the Logitech speakers.

The Mackie looks like the one in this ebAY auction:

Sounds high for a used Mackie 1202 VLz.
Behringer has little mixers starting at $50 depending on what you need.
what kind of pa are you selling?

I don't know that I am FOR SURE but what I have is a Carvin 12-channel --

with the Road Warrior case and two speaker stands and two spot monitors and stands.

What do I know, I thought maybe the Mackie would produce better sound than a cheap Behringer. (Also, I wouln't pay what they ask... I'd have to whittle 'em down.) But again, I don't know much about sound. Heck, I'm going deaf pretty fast even if I did. Grandpa's gonna need hearing aids.

I had a Mackie 1202, then a 1202VLZ. I now have a Behringer 1202FXPro ($119.), and a 1222FXPro ($139.). Hank the Lurker has a 802 ($59.)and an Alesis 6 channel with effects ($99). I can't tell any difference in sound quality between any of them. The two I have now have a LOT more features for a LOT less money than the Mackie.
The Mackie, the 1202 and the 1222 have built-in power supplies where the Alesis and 802 have external.
