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
This video gives an overview of the top 5 things to consider when purchasing a piano accordion for the first time.
Piano accordions come in different sizes and with varying numbers of base buttons. I know some have 48, 72.... up to 120. I assume that with 120 base buttons you can play in any musical key. Could I play in any key with a 48 base button A 72 bass accordion is the smallest layout that will allow you to play in all keys, however it is not practical at the extreme top & bottom of the buttons.

I guess the price is ok for a good brand new accordion. Some are cheaper, but get ruined too soon. Price depends on the size, also.

Aretha Franklin Jams With Condoleeza Rice

The event held at Philadelphia's Mann Music Center on Tuesday night (July 27) was gong to be special no matter what. It was headlined by soul goddess Aretha Franklin , whose instrument hasn't lost a single step in four decades. And the concert, which attracted 8,000 fans, was set up to raise money for charities that provide music and the arts to inner city youth, which is as noble a cause as is out there. But it was made extra special by the appearance of former Secretary of State and classically-trained pianist Condoleeza Rice, who joined Franklin on stage for a handful of songs. She opened with a selection from a Mozart concerto and then backed up Franklin on "I Say a Little Prayer" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee."
Rice is hardly the first politician to dip her toes into the world of popular music and performance. Former President Bill Clinton was an excellent tenor saxophonist (he once jammed on "The Arsenio Hall Show" ). Al Sharpton showed off his vocal chops on an episode of "Saturday Night Live," while former Attorney General John Ashcroft once performed a wacky song that he wrote called "Let the Eagles Soar."
