Thinking of selling, not an ad tho...

Hi everyone!

Well the time has finally come; I plan on selling my R13 in order to purchase a Buffet Vintage from Muncy Winds. I just had a real quick question as to what I should do. Here's the dilemma:

My R13 has a crack in it, not in the actual body or wall of any of the sections, but on a cork end. On the bottom joint, just under the cork, there is about 3/8" that had broken off in a nearly more fatal tragedy when the piece fell, though the rest of it is in perfect working order.

According to Muncy, I could have this repaired with a metal cap so as the price would not completely be depreciated from a flaw in the instrument. The missing section has never given me problems in playing nor has it seemed to affect my sound.

The question is, what would be my chances of getting a good sale price on a 5 year old R13 with the missing piece, and then with it repaired? Not looking for a buyer just yet, I'll be getting the Vintage first.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
Joe
