I've had good and bad luck with eBay. I got a flute that was better than
expected, and a Eb clarinet that is remarkably good given what I paid for
it. I have also picked up a couple of clarinets that looked much better in
the pictures than they turned out to be. It is a caveat emptor world out
there on eBay, but on the whole I have been satisfied with my purchases
(including a LOT of old records). I do watch the feedbacks closely, and
pass on items if the seller does not measure up. I'm considering doing
some selling. Anybody interested in some old Brilhart mouthpiece caps?
