Thinking of purchasing one of these used. Seller claims there is only 10 hrs of playing time on it. From the photos, it looks in great condition. I tried goggling used prices on these but can't find anything.

He is asking $850. I think that is a bit steep, but would welcome any input.

Thanks

David, the ES5 was released at the beginning of 2003, meaning that it's essentially 10 years old.

One hour of playing time for every year of ownership? I don't think so...

Personally, even though it's a Kawai, I'd skip this board and buy something new - such as a Casio PX-750.

Cheers,

KJ is right. I think $850 for a ten-year-old low-end piano is just too much. If the piano is appealing then just offer, say, $250. If not, buy a new piano.

Yes, you would definitely do better to buy a brand new digital for $850, or, if you can stretch to $1K (and, beyond) there are some other choices in that range.

Thanks for the replies, I think I need to do some more reading up. I was reading about the MP6 but it's a bit out of my price range but then again I was willing to spend $850, I am over half way to an MP6.

I am just needing a full 88 keyboard with a good piano sound. Anything else would be a bonus.
