Casio home keyboards in Flea Markets

I was in a flea market yesterday, and found two full sized Casio home keyboards for sale. This is not the first time I have seen this. Keyboards in remarkably good shape and condition. Some look, hardly been played. Most are usually, latter models, of keyboards. Some from the 90's and early 2000's. On occasion, i have found early models, from the 1980's. Most are in very good condition. I have found Yamaha ones as well, but mainly Casio? I wonder why this is? I have gone through, my share of home keyboards as well, and never hold onto them, and yet Casio still produces home keyboards.

Don't really know. Yamaha make as many cheaper home keyboards as Casio. But if you see a Casio XW keyboard cheap at a flea market I would definitely buy it.

Unless, people prefer Yamaha's, to Casio's?

Well, If I do happen to find an XW really cheap. I will snag it. It's cool to see Casio, back in the Pro synth market.

I have seen them as low as €249 overhere in europe, the XW-P1 has a phenomonal monophonic solo synth... Which is rumored to make its way to the px-7s thats still to be announced..

It will be a long while before the XW-P1 comes down in price. The last pro keyboard I found in a flea market was a KORG 01/WFD for $300.00 sold it too a music store and only got $100.00.

I wouldn't have sold it to a music store. They will always pay bottom $ to maximize their profit on resale. You could have got more than that on eBay.

True!

I did sell an ARP AXXE on eBay. Of course I had to give the seller more money, for repairs. Since I forgot to mention the sticky sliders in my description. Kind of wishing I hadn't sold the damn thing.

At least I still have the OMNI. Even if it only half works, and I don't really play. It's still a cool synth.
