This is what happens when 1) there's no fee until it's sold and 2) seller just doesn't care.hrender wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 8:52 amI see a fair number of instruments on eBay that are up for years. There's a particular Conn Eb that I think has been listed for the same "optimistic" price for over a decade. I wouldn't be surprised if it has been up for closer to two decades.tubaing wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 7:00 pm I think the only time someone bought one of my instruments "to flip"...
I bought a tuba on eBay because I thought I could double my money (unless I loved the tuba and wanted to keep it). A music store bought it from me and listed it on eBay for more than double what I sold it for. I remember it being listed for several (2-4) years. I think they overestimated its value... Or maybe it's sold for what they wanted. I don't see it up anymore... Or maybe they discounted it a bunch.
There's also that Scherzer CC at BBC that's been there for about 10 years. I've played it and liked it. But like most buyers, I guess I just always felt like for the same money -- or a little more -- I'd get something a lot better. Haha, or, if I bought it and wanted to change horns (like I so often do), then literally nobody would want to buy it from me, either.
