Justin N :
I’d like to find a decent piano accordion to purchase online for under $500 CAD. I’m looking on ebay and there are all sorts of different instruments available but there really aren’t a lot of details available on ebay and I’m having trouble looking up and actually finding the models online. If you know of any music website that would sell a piano accordion it would be really helpful.

You can definitely find what you’re looking for on ebay. I got one for under $300 USD. If the person has excellent ratings then I’d say it’s worth the risk. Do some research and look at the sizes as well as the number of bass keys. 120 is the standard amount of those. Look at what kind of effects in tone that it has to figure out how extravagant you want it and what you’re willing to spend. Good luck!
At $500 Canadian, you’re definitely looking at a used and/or lower quality instrument. Probably 48 bass; maybe 72 with a Chinese-made instrument. Also a fairly small palate of registers.
Right now there is a good variety of instruments available, including some nice Italian instruments with 120 bass buttons at low prices because they have one or no bids. The problem with the eBay option is that you often have no recourse if you discover the instrument has air leaks or broken reeds.
I would be very hesitant about buying an accordion on ebay. You can’t inspect it before you buy it. Go to a pawn shop. They usually won’t buy a bad accordion.
