Hey Tubenet. I've decided to consider selling my Conn 28J BBb, but am not really sure where to price it. It is a 3v front action 5/4 in silverplate. It's built like a tank (and I think there's a chance the metal is actually bulletproof, it's so thick). S/N 166XXX, which places it at 1919 according to Conn's website. I am unable, at the moment, to recall what I paid for it.
About what would be a good price to sell this horn for?

Re: Value of this tuba
Assuming it's in modern pitch and mechanically sound with reasonably tight valves, I'd go just a bit higher than Mike and say $1000-1100. A larger Conn horn with front valves and an upright bell is not so easy to find, but it is still a three-banger.
