I watch double-bell euphoniums all the time on eBay (and used to own one myself...needed cash so I had to sell it). Once cleaned up that will be a nice looking horn. I would guess that it would go for somewhere around $1750-2250 (maybe even more than that - it always depends on how many people really want that horn) on eBay.

No problem - might I also suggest cleaning it up before you put it on eBay (and take some new pictures).
I have bought several horns in the last few years off of eBay (and got a bargain) that were just dirty...more people will probably bid if the instrument is in better cosmetic condition.
There are many people who sell instruments (especially people who sell older ones - like double-bell euphoniums) just don't clean the horns before they sell them. I would guess that 9/10 silver-plated double-bell euphoniums I see on eBay are NOT cleaned before they are sold.
Just my opinion...
