I'd like to make the point that ebay also has the value of having a lot of
vintage musical items. Try finding somewhere that has so many kaspar
mouthpieces at once. In places like australia (where i am), it is impossible
to find any decent instruments and ebay solves this problem. Whilst america
often has fantastic music stores to get instruments etc. from, in most other
countries, ebay is one of the best music stores around.

I just want to agree with what Gary said about corresponding with the
seller.

I ALWAYS ask tons of questions, and most sellers are more than happy to
answer to the best of their ability. The best instruments I have bought so
far have
been either from someone like Michael Ginesi who knows what he is selling
and
is WAY honest, so I know I am not getting ripped off, and then the other
great
deals have been from people who don't even know what they have, but whom
I have asked lots of questions, and in plenty of cases they have sent me
extra
pictures, etc. So I have a real good idea what I am getting in most cases.

In the case of my most recent acquisition, the lady sent the clarinet to me
before
I even paid her, and told me not to pay unless I was happy with it! She said
if I
didn't like it I could just send it back. Nice lady, huh?
