Why not? Buy,play with it for a while, fix/mod it out, flip

I have one I might part with. Email me.

maybe...but I just don't view these as worth a ton more than the opening bid

I know you've made up your mind, but it's a BIN with the option to make an offer (plus eBay fees and/or depending on your state, taxes). It's on FB Marketplace in NYC, too, seems legit. I'd be interested had I not just bought the Alex F.

You know that I already own an F tuba that just makes every other one seem disappointing, and the same high level of playing characteristics in an F cimbasso.

Mostly, I was posting it for someone who would just like something that's pretty good, really well-made, and fairly inexpensive. ... I don't see any flipping room involved in this transaction, but it's a fair price, in my view.

There are three fully-chromatic B-flats sitting in this room, a two-bells fully chromatic E-flat, (again) two remarkable fully chromatic F instruments, two different fully chromatic euphoniums, A small collection of other 9-ft instruments, and yet another 9 ft instrument project in progress. If I add anything else, it's going to be a King fiberglass sousaphone. I just sold an amazing-playing (old heavy) King brass sousaphone, which I probably shouldn't have sold... but the buyer had an urgent need.

You guys should buy this one AND Tony's and then send them to Wade to do his magic, mainly scooped out valves and larger diameter valve body.

by the way isn't buying tubas for fun what its all about?

I always thought these play just fine (other than a few typical intonation landmines) with no mods.

I just looked at it and ebay said two things:
1. it sold
2. It has been re-listed (or an identical one, haha)

Can't both be true. This goes back to the get on zoom and show me so I can take a screen print of your face

I had an eBay selling account for a while. A few times items “sold,” but the “buyer” failed to pay. Gave them a negative hit, blocked them from bidding again, relisted the item. eBay wanted more and more from sellers and did little on the buyer’s end to prevent stupidity, so I dumped them. Not worth the hassle to me.

Just wanted to add that this isn’t a reflection on this particular sale, just my frustration with some humans and eventual rejection of the system…

Buyer requested to cancel the sale.
Seller should not be blamed.

I haven't closed my account, but I don't sell there anymore.
