Um....he WAS asking for help, and 90% of what he got was attitude. Bryan
made a mistake, and most of the people here were not particularly interested in
providing useful information to help him fix it....so what else is new? I
personally wouldn't have made that remark, but I can understand him doing so.

Bryan, try selling it on eBay, or check with your local high schools/colleges
and see if anyone needs to buy one. It really is true that you can't
seriously expect to get back all the money you paid for it...I don't know if someone
gave you bad advice at the time, or if, out of inexperience, you just didn't
consider the problems you would have trying to resell it, since you really
needed it for the audition. The suggestion someone made about renting one was
right on, or borrowing one from a friend or teacher the next time you need one
could be a good idea.
