Mirafone (yamafone) 186 BBb SOLD

I'm selling a mirafone 186 BBb with a Yamaha bell, put together by Dan Schultz (tubatinker on this board). Plays fine, I'm selling because it's a spare and not the right spare for me. It's located near NYC. I might be interested in Upright/Electric basses, a bell front tuba, euphonium, or who knows? 1800$ would be perfect also.
Thanks.
Arnold S. Gottlieb

pics on request---and you'll still find it on Dan's site.

The price is MORE THAN fair, Dan did a great job with that horn, and you'll sell it by dinner time.

I'd be interested, but I'm tapped out because of this current expected expense: viewtopic.php?t=19964

Otherwise, would you consider bartering for, maybe, $2K worth of carbon offsets?

Hey Blokebaby,
The price is fair, I just have too much stuff. Thanks for the link, but I just moved 5 minutes on foot from the train to New York City, and 3 miles by bike to my theatre "day gig". I'm guessing my emissions should be going down pretty soon. I'd take a CC helicon if you've got one laying around though.....

Peace.

Whoever bought/is buying your tuba is quite clever. I missed out on a deal that was the equivalent of the super deal you're offering on one of those mowers (see link above) yesterday because I acted too slowly.

bloke "who wasn't under the impression that trains/theatres/bicycle factories/air compressors were emission-free nor carbon-neutral. Frankly, I suspect the entire movement is some sort of retro to Middle Ages Catholicism."

Good points......I can only do the work of one man......
And yes, it's probably sold. It's between someone who can make a local pickup and the first person who commited to having it shipped. Local is easiest, and first is first, just working out the details.
Can't tell who's clever though...........

When I'm trying to buy something that is a really good deal (similar to the deal your tuba), if I'm not local to the seller, I usually get schoozed out by locals. I've learned (when I REALLY want something) to tell the seller, "I'm on my way with the cash. I'll be there in six[teen, etc.] hours..."

Thanks for the advice. My next PM is a deadline............

Peace.
