2/ Starting the bidding at $1, put a $10,000 "Reserve" on a 10-day auction (beginning on a Thursday evening, and ending on a Sunday evening).

3/ For roughly a $10 listing fee, the world will give you a pretty accurate appraisal.

Hope you don't mind that I pointed that out...I keep an eye on craigslist and you are kinda in my neck of the woods (close, but not the same city). Just trying to draw attention to your listing and drum up a little business for you.

No commentatary (good or bad) from me regarding your price (or an appraisal).

i don't mind...looks like thompson music in NC is gonna purchase it from me, but i won't believe it until i see $$ >:) that seems to be the consensus, that the price is not too low or too high, so 1200 it will remain :? :tuba:
