[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 268260, member: 1969"] Sort of. I'd guess 20% of them are too far gone. Plus the time spent on refurbishing them. Pipe store not being likely, if each pipe took an hour to do just right (and you sort of know what you're doing--i.e., not a seasoned pro but a guy who's just trying to make some bucks back), that's a lot of hours. Even if you have the right equipment and know-how. If, minus shipping, you made $10 - $20 a piece (that's if they sold at all), that'd work out to about $12/hr average, maybe over a six month/one year period, especially the packing them up and shipping them to the buyer. Okay for a guy on the skids a little with no family or job, perhaps. Hopefully, in a lot like that, you get a few gems to make up for the bulk of the crap you have to deal with. It's not easy work, eBaying on the side. Polishing turds for a living takes a special kind. At least they're lighter to carry and easier to box up than synthesizers. :lol: 8) [/QUOTE]
