Preparing to Sell House - What to do with my Oasys?!

Post by MarkF786 »

I live in a small townhouse and have all my equipment, along with thee large bookshelves and computer desk, stuffed into a small den. I have my first-born due in January, and I'm thinking of selling my house so I need to de-clutter it for when I put my house on the market.

The OASYS, along with with my monitors, stand, and various other accessories, take up a huge amount of room, so I'm wondering what to do with it...

I've thought of two options:

- Sell my OASYS (I've been looking to sell it to get an O76 anyway) and get back into the game later.

- Put my OASYS in climate-controlled storage - but I really don't know if it's safe to store something like the OASYS. Even though it's climate-controlled, the temperature ranges from 55-85 degrees Fahrenheit.

Any suggestions? Has anyone ever stored synths or other music equipment in climate-controller storage before?

I'm kinda bummed, but at least I'll have space for a Christmas tree this year :wink:

The operating temperature range is specified at 5 to 35 degrees C (41-95 degrees F). The storage range is not specified, but I would expect that it should be even greater.

Hi Mark,

Maybe I can help you out here? I have an Oasys 76 and plenty of room to house an 88.
If you would like, I can hold on to it for as long as you need. :lol:

Only kidding of course! Best wishes for the new arrival and the home sale.

Mark,

You have been waffling about your OASYS for a few months now. I would suggest selling it, then potentially buying one a few years from now.

Maybe rent the machine to a studio that you'd trust and for the right price
with a very specific written contract as to price/mo. , who covers any damage etc. …… unless, of course you simply need a lump sum to help
fund your upcomng life changes
