Bob, thank you for offering. I know you have been a member here for a long time and that you also currently moderate other groups is perfect. I have just changed your status to that of a moderator with full privileges.

True, but the longer I am without my K5K, the more that knowledge will fade. Plus, may end up missing it more. I will hang around for a bit longer just to make sure everything is going ok, but before long I expect I will leave the group.

Unfortunately the gear sell-off is out of necessity rather than by choice. Work at my family's web/graphic design business has been at a near standstill for too many months in a row and I just can't make ends meet anymore. Looks like I'm about to land a small freelance job, which will help but only for a very short while. So I've been forced to start selling gear to raise some money while I continue to search for a new job. The K5000 is the first item from my for-sale list that got purchased.

I've mainly been looking to sell locally (Washington DC metro area) but whatever I can't sell around here will be up for shipping. So if anyone on the list is in the area and interested in buying some gear, I'm selling nearly all of my hardware. (Thankfully I compose with softsynths almost exclusively these days.) You can see the current list of what is for sale here:

But I digress...thank you again for offering to be a moderator, Bob. :)
