organ buying advice

[Niko]

hi,

i'd like to know whether it is silly to buy something like this / what this is:

http://cgi.ebay.de/Hammond-Orgel_W0QQitemZ...1QQcmdZViewItem

the price is rather low (40 Euro=60$) and i could maybe go there to test it...

thank you very much!

Depends on what you want. This is a transistor model. It is not going to sound like a Hammond B3 or any other tonewheel Hammond.

I thought this was livers, kidneys, etc- carry on.

the type of thing you find on ebay when you cannot sleep...

if i got this right then this thing doesn't sound more like a "real" organ than any new keyboard i'd buy(?) so the advantage would be that on it i could probably learn to play on an organ (with foot pedals and stuff)... guess i will not buy it, it's not the price that bothers me (if it still works then i guess the price is ok...) but that i have to pay rent for the huge space where it stands...

Is that buy now price really 40 euros?

Even if it doesn't work (unless it's an empty box) it MUST be worth more than that, surely?

Not really.

that's really the buy now price, 98 Euro shipping or pick it up yourself (which would be right around the corner for me but i don't have a car and even that wouldn't suffice...)

i saw a finished auction for the same organ with 5 or 6 bids and a finishing bid of 102 Euro...

in case anyone else needs to look it up "cor" means "oh my god" (?), hadn't seen it before and now MG uses it on several threads

Don't think it's quite as strong as that - though actually, I don't know how stron "oh my god" is in American.

I have an extra spleen lying around here if anyone wants it...
