It's a real bonanza around here at the moment for some good old Casios:
A CT-610 which I hadn't even heard of: 
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/msg/4113684068.html
A DH-100 with all the fixings: 
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/msg/4120063418.html
A RZ-1: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/msg/4123460136.html
An allegedly brand new FZ 10m:

An overpriced SK 5: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/msg/4119304967.html
A MT-65: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/msg/4114314277.html
And even A MIDI guitar: 
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/msg/4097794269.html


I'm not involved with any of these sales and am managing to contain myself 
from buying any of them even though the CT-610 looks interesting and is only 
a mile or so from where I live. That reminds me though that my DH-100 is a 
big mess with the squeally chip failure, the bell disconnected and something 
or other else wrong if I recall. I should send it off for repairs but it 
still looks cool propped up in the window sill.
I think using Queensryche in a spelling bee would be cruel and unusual and 
could scar children for life: there's supposed to be an umlaut in there 
somewhere and I believe it's not where umlauts are generally supposed to go 
but I couldn't be bothered to begin to figure out how to apply one from a 
keyboard or figure out where it might need to go. And please don't tell me 
where my umlaut needs to go.

90GBP? Though it looked like it went for less as you accepted a 'best

about a month back I would've snapped it up!
