IT"S ON!!!

Let us know how it turns out. The buyer information was questioned by elephant.

Please stick to your plan. I've been ripped off on ebay once. They were even able to manufacture a fake PayPal payment.

NOTE: do not respond to my "rip-off" vent, in the interest of keeping the thread up. I only intended to add emphasis to my warning. But if these guys spent as much time in an honest job as they do trying to rip us off, they'd be rich.

The buyer is a tubenetter.I think it'll work out.I'll wait for the check to clear and send it out.As Ronald Regan would say "Trust but verify"...

This is usually good advice.

Well, this is a useful reference point. A friend called me the other day wondering if he should accept a $1600 offer for his really clean 1907 6/4 Holton (with fairly-recently Anderson-redone valves). I told him to hang on to his horn--if he really needed the money, I'd help him eBay it. He said that he'd had the horn for 30 years and wasn't in a hurry to sell it.

I was thinking the buyer could have been the mother of a student player who doesn't have an eBay account. As far as the amount, hey, as Wade said, this is business. It's an auction, so the sale goes to the highest bidder! Nothin' wrong with that!
