Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this bloke's York he was selling a while ago? I wonder why it's on eBay now

...Sure seems like it....
Northernlb is a board member and seller of horns. I've bought from him before and the transaction went over smoothly.

PS. If you're really interested in buying the horn, I'd get it from his website to avoid the eBay fees.

Not interested in it, merely curious why it's for sale again so quickly!

Because it used to be for sale at 7k and now it's 8.5k??
Maybe??

Nah, it's only $7.5k on his website.
The added $1K is to cover the eBay/paypal fees. eBay now takes 10% of sales cost and of the shipping cost as it's fee. (plus Paypal takes 2%)
I, personally, wouldn't invest $7k + shipping in a horn to sell it for only $7.5k if my goal was to flip it to make more money.

Me neither. If it is that horn, likely turned out to be a bad fit as opposed to a bad horn. The additional .5k might be bargaining room. I personally have had a heck of a time finding good ergonomic fits, and sometimes it's not obvious right away.

That makes sense.
It would also make sense if it was put on consignment there if he were not the buyer.
People buy stuff they discover they don't need all the time.
I know I do.
Just not usually 7k+
