"Of course on the auctions they go for a lot less since the buyers can't be certain of the condition."

Dee, thats a generalization. In some cases this may hold trued true where photos are not provided or where the "auction copy" leaves one with a distinct feeling that the seller is less than a layperson. Howevere, give photos, good descriptions, & invite e-mail inquiry & the situation changes dramatically.

I have studied 1000's of auctions since January, 1999 & I find (in manay cases, take plastic Evettesthat are junk) that the lower the value of the instrument, the more likely the seller may realize more than they could otherwise. Intermediate clarinets are a bit of an anomoly and the mass of Bundy's dont't do all that well.

In fact, certain NAMES connote with a premium on eBay.
