If any one wants to sell me a transport for $50.00, I'll buy it right

I can pay cash, pay pal, or any other way you care to imagine... Seriously,
it is a decent synth especially for laptop use... I would preferr a dectalk
express, but I cannot find one of those for a 
reasonable price either...
so, I am looking...
