Participant[quote=UCGal]Looking at the pictures I have to laugh at the bathroom shot – with the photographer showing in the mirror.
It looks like a less expensive way to get into the La Jolla high school feeder area.
It’s 2003 prices… which means it’s probably not super over priced.[/quote]
Yeah, it definitely looked a bit tacky. But is there anyway to take a picture of the bathroom with the mirror placed like that without showing up in the picture? Photoshop? I’m curious…ybitz

Participant[quote=joec]ybitz, do you have a quick link of some of those weighed key keyboards with full keys? I remember maybe 10 years ago checking a piano store out and seeing them and couldn’t tell the difference from a regular piano. I think back then, it was like 2-3k or something though.
I definitely wouldn’t mind having something like that around the house to screw around with (hated practicing, probably played for 5-7 years, but glad I learned since I can still read music) and would love to play again…[/quote]
I haven’t done research into specific models. But just doing a quick search i think something like the Yamaha P80 would be pretty good.
Disclaimer…I have not used this keyboard and can’t vouch for it. Just listing it as an example.
You don’t need a keyboard with lots of bell and whistles (for mimicking other instruments). Just a normal keyboard with good weighted keys would be sufficient to practice on.
I think weighted keys on modern keyboard have come a long ways. I can tell if a keyboard has good keys or not in seconds just by playing trills on it; any decent pianist should be able to do the same. Yes, there is a difference between keyboard and upright and grand piano, but the difference is small and will not affect the way you practice or your enjoyment. Weighted keys on keyboards are often better than cheap used upright’s, in my opinion.ybitz

Participanthave you considered using Redfin? A discount broker like Redfin might be a good compromise between saving $ and the “hassle” and “risk” of going at it alone.

ParticipantYeah, I would reject it, unless they are willing to pay A LOT for the rent back to make it worthwhile for you.
Also, I would recommend doing the final inspection/walk-through after they have moved out. This insures that they have properly moved out and didn’t damage/destroy anything during the move. In our case, we did our final inspection before the seller completely moved out, and they damaged the house during the move (and we didn’t find out until after close-of-escrow). It is now a pain to get them to repair the damages. After escrow closes, and the seller gets the money, buyers have no leverage left, short of threatening to take them to small-claims court. -
