Level Of Difficulty at Work: .25 out of 10
Time During Lunch: Medium
Da New hutch chillin next to my sorta new piano.
Looks pretty good where it's at, both the hutch and piano. I was seeking a piano for my birthday and found one on ebay. I need to stop purchasing large as well as big ticket ($$) items, it gets sketchy at times.
If i didn't look on ebay i wouldn't have found this piano. It's a Casio Privia-555R MSRP 1100$, i got for 380$ shipped. #1 He was a new user with a feedback of 1 i think, 2# he wanted a money order. When i sent the payment it had his phone number with the address, so that was cool, then i asked for some kinda ID in case i need to bust some inter-state action. The guy brings it back n forth to the UPS store and gets different price quotes each time. So he asks if i can call him, which i do. The guys from minnesota and sounded alright, he had a band and needed a keyboardist etc.etc. So shipping went from 40$ to $100 to $180. I agree to pay 80 or 90, he's on the fence of doing this, but sends it and eats the rest.
Transit time was supposed to be 5 days but it became 8. And i was hoping it would come on the one week gap inbetween my 2 vacations. But of course it didn't. My neighbor happens to see it and knew that we were getting a boatload of stuff. I come back from LaLaLand and get the piano but theres a taped up hole on the bottom. Further Emails with the guy, theres supposed to be a tupperware with the AC adapter and screws for the wooden stand. Great, i go on amazon and get a AC adapter, go down to a few musician stores and find a decent stand. Waited forever for the AC adapter, plug it in and the piano works fine. Thats all that matters, and thats it's story.
So i paid $420 + ac adapter + stand = $480. the Base model the Privia PX-110 costs $395, now i gotta make the UPS claim. Lets see what happens. Also it's gonna take me a while to get back into the piano playing days, so chill..
