I searched the completed listings and didn't see it. Perhaps it hasn't been updated yet? I was just curious to see it.jonesmj wrote:There was a 4 valve King just like this in very nice shape that went super fast last night on ebay for a BIN price of $500......

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Re: Reynolds Contempora in Cincinnati
It's very interesting that this was a 'quick sale' deal and the seller has ZERO feedback. I hope the pawn shop guy in Sarasota didn't buy it!jonesmj wrote:FYI-mark

Re: Reynolds Contempora in Cincinnati
Yes, zero feedback is a bit unsettling, but investigate first before turning on the auto-scam mode. Everyone has to start somewhere on Ebay, and making/trying-to-make tons of money off of something they don't use is not everyone's mission. There are some deals (and yes, scams) to be had, zero feedback/Bulgaria/bad pictures/etc. included...

Re: Reynolds Contempora in Cincinnati
True. However.... when I see a listing like that the first thing that comes to mind is there is a horn missing from a bandroom. Although these particular horns are exactly the choice of middle and high school band directors these day... I sure there are lots of them sitting in the 'back rooms' that could be 'snitched' by band kids and offered as a quick sale under a new identity. Although the auction is legit... the seller may not be.TheHatTuba wrote:Yes, zero feedback is a bit unsettling, but investigate first before turning on the auto-scam mode.

Re: Reynolds Contempora in Cincinnati
I wasn't saying that everyone selling a tuba on eBay with a "0" feedback score is a scammer. We all have to start somewhere. It was more the $500 selling price from someone who just purchased a new horn that made me suspect. So this guy obviously knew the value of that excellent condition King. If I had just purchased a new tuba, I would want to sell that King for as much as I could get for it to help cover the cost of the new horn. That King tuba was easily in the $2,000 range & at the very least a steal at $1,000. All these aspects appear to be very questionable, but it's possible that it was a legit listing, but very unlikely.

Re: Reynolds Contempora in Cincinnati
Not only that but look how the cases are numbered. Looks exactly like a school would do. The way the ad is worded that they want a fast sale gives the feeling of getting it done before they get caught. While it's possibly legit it sure gives a queasy feeling that something is amiss. Hard to tell for sure from the poor quality of the photos but it looks like both horn and cases are in good shape.TubaMusikMann wrote:I wasn't saying that everyone selling a tuba on eBay with a "0" feedback score is a scammer.
