    I've recently started getting back into making music and I'm wondering what a good cheap keyboard would be to get. I wanna make some melodies but find it too difficult doing it without one. I'm thinking maybe finding a cheap old keyboard on ebay with MIDI out but not sure if that's the best option.

    This is a bit off topic but what are the fees like. I sometimes sell on eBay too but have had mixed experiences

    10% fee I think.

    they take it out up front whereas eBay takes a % out when you sell on top of the listing fees.

    depends how you play it, I don't know how to play keys properly so I usually do chords most of the times, the keys are very comfy and easy to play
