Well here's a risk. Actually two...
First showing something I'm a bit interested in here on TubeNet where I can increase interest of others, and the other being the seller themselves.

96% positive feedback, but 46 Negative and 14 Neutral feedbacks over the last year (out of nearly 1700).

Apparently a clearing house, with no contact but minimal.
I reviewed the negative feedbacks and they appear to be mostly tied into electronics that didn't work or were quite dented.
They show the dents in the photos, and M&M was advertising here not too long ago.

They still do ...

This seller clearly states that his stuff is sold 'as is'. I can't imagine anyone having a complaint against him. As usual... it's "buyer beware"!

I don't know anything about this auction, but you could contact Mike Bassichis at M&M and ask him if he knows anything about this instrument. He'll give you the straight poop even if you aren't going to buy anything from him. This way, at least you'll know if the horn came through him and was just damaged in shipment.
