I like the 'possible for sale' items. I've wanted to make a 'possible offer' just to see what would happen... but it's the web.

What's the possible purpose for possibly posting a possible sale on an instrument, possibly?

In business, that would be a "letter of intent," where two entities explore whether or not they want to do a deal. But it's between the two parties, not a broadcast like on the forum.

Gauge the market, gauge the poster's real thoughts and feelings about selling, etc.

How much would any of these possibly be worth to anyone who might be interested in them?

- people who continue to live and cities and complain about all of the stupid stuff in cities
- people who complain about being bossed around, but always vote for people or seek jobs working for people who will boss them around
- symphony orchestras that open up or finish concerts with pieces that involve the tuba - unnecessarily causing me to be forced to arrive and leave with crowds of annoying people who purchased tickets so that I might be paid more than most of the violinists for doing approximately 5% the work that violinists do
Can you post some pictures?
