Has anyone ever bought something and wondered why, you bought it? My most recent purchase was the KORG 01/WFD. Why, who knows? I never intended to buy it, but I did. I was wandering around a flea market, not really looking to buy anything? When I spotted the KORG on the floor in a case for $325.00. Which by today's standers is rather cheap. Considering what they originally sold for in 1992. I think $2,300.00 give or take? Of course I have seen what these keyboards, go for used on Ebay. More then I paid for. Anyway, I kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and well.... I bought it and brought it home. Of course it's sitting on the floor in it's case at the moment. I have played it a little and did get the sounds restored. Thanks to Nigel. I have thought about flipping it an maybe reselling it? Though that is still in the air. I know it's not a very popular synth, but it's still pretty cool for being a 20 year old keyboard.

I have made some rather unusual purchase's. My ARP Omni for example! Found that in a Pawn Shop, for $150.00. Still have it, and still can not part with it. Tried, but just could not do it. Then there's the Farfisa Organ. Paid $75.00 from an Antique Mall of all places. That's sucker is a Beast.

Although some of my other favorite purchases were my four antique phonographs. No those I could never sell. Mean too much to me.

Anyway's back to the KORG. Why did I buy it? No idea? Something in me, said buy it! Vintage synth, flea market. Maybe I just have a fondness for vintage keyboards? Or I really want to play it? It's possible?

Anyway, it was an impulse buy.

Well you have been having fun with it, and if you decide to flip it you will probably get much what you paid for it. In that case buying it and having fun for a while made great sense.
