Now this is a nice OT posting...
If you're looking into a nice set of mics for recording, don't forget to check out the Neumann KM184s. They're not too large and sound awesome. I've got a matched pair that I use regularly on live gigs and recordings and they take just about anything you throw at them (except for liquids, of course). Oh, and Wayne, if you're looking for a nice vocal mike, check out the Neumann KSM105. All these mikes are modestly priced (for Neumann's standards anyway) and are well worth the investment. That having been said, I agree that a couple of SM57's or SM58's are a fb choice for all-round use. Ditto for Sennheiser 604's (try those on drums and/or percussion)

Wayne -

(OT, but I post this as a service to "the king" )

I've tried the SM-57 for recording gtr and vocals.  Not great, but I'm
not prepared to spend money on a mic.  I ended up with an Audio Technica
ATM-31a for about $130.  It is a condenser mic that I use for live
vocals as well as for recording.  Sound is pretty good, far better than
SM-57 or SM-58.  There are other choices but I believe just about any
condenser will sound better on acoustic guitar than a dynamic.

Would that mic you're selling be useful for acoustic guitar and vocals?
I've been recording with an SM-57 for years, and I get the feeling I
could do better.
