You’re right, the pawn shops are filled with old gear that was very pricey - but it’s not the moogs or even the dx7s, instruments that were fun to play in 1992 or 1982 are fun to play in 2022 - it’s the tools from the early digital era that are junk now. ADATs, and firewire audio interfaces, mixers, zip drives, etc.
All things that were killed by software updates or ports being left off new hardware, or changes in techniques.
