Update: Tonight, I stopped at the local ARC store to peruse and had my first big score there. In the pile of stuff they really don't know what to do with like old filmstrip projectors, etc. There it was, a Pearl Elite Box Cajon in Wine Red nearly brand spankin' new. Just like this one: http://www.pearldrum.com/Products/Percussion/Cajons/Elite-Box-Cajons.aspx$40 at the ARC, $170 new. Score! -Scott

Peavey T-40 electric bass. I feel as if I shouldn't like this as much as I do. I only paid $150 for it used, but it plays and sounds great.

Depending on the vintage of this bass, you could turn a nice profit on it. Check eBay.
The T-40 and T-60 guitar are great examples of nice American made instruments. Some of the first to be made with CNC cutting the blanks.
I have a Peavey Milestone, vintage 1984, that is very similar to the T-60, but never got the interest that the T-60 did.

I got a cajon for a while ago, and it's definitely the best bang for my buck I've gotten in a long time. My younger son has got a knack for rhythm, and had been playing on the back of church pews for years. I'd been looking for some way to get him a drum kit, but the usual constraints (money, no place to put it, money, no room in the car, money, "what do you need another instrument for?"... money) stopped me from getting a real kit or even an electronic one. We ended up getting a Aspire cajon. It's got snare wires inside instead of the more traditional strings inside, so it's got more of a "rock" sound. It's great. My older son tried it out first, but he sort of floundered around. (He's now plays bass  ). The younger one took to it like a duck to water - ten minutes later we were heading to church, and he's been playing ever since. I ended up getting a pair of Blastix and plastic brushes to add to the variety of the sound, but it sounds fine just played by hand. You can play it as a "latin percussion" instrument, or as a replacement for a simple drum part. It's easy to lug around, and doubles as furniture. It's much quieter in a living room than a drum kit, but in halls and churches is loud enough not to need a mike. It's easy to fit into the car (I put the brushes inside it), and people love to play it. It doesn't much coordination to play, and is a ton of fun. If you've got a youth group or are looking for a percussion instrument, I highly recommend one.

OK, but I get to include my '84 R65 Beemer, which does not have stock pipes
