I went to the online clearance section of Guitar Center's website and picked up an amazing Yamaha acoustic for 80 percent off that I'll probably keep my whole life. Like $70. 

I also picked up a starter electric for cheap in the same purchase. I've since moved on to a nicer stratocaster, but I sold that starter kit for almost what I paid for it during the pandemic on Facebook marketplace. I Bought for something like $110.
