For Bundy's in unknown condition and presumably needing repair, maybe
so. At $31 just about ANY Bundy would be QUITE a bargain. A Bundy that
has just been serviced, however, would be worth $200 or more on the
non-eBay market. At full retail, as much as $400! You have to figure that
the suggested retail on new Selmer plastic clarinets is nearly $800 these
days (street price considerably lower, of course).
