Anyone know what value a MKVI tenor in gold plate with silver plated keys is worth? The seller is looking for around £3000 (GBP) for it as is, and £3500 overhauled - though I wouldn't let the seller do the work as I know what a pig's ear of a job they do.
I think the gold had a copper flash on top to make it a deeper colour, but this has dulled down over time, and the only plating wear is from the usual spots where the body rests against the player's leg during playing. The engraving is sharp and was done after plating, and darkened nicely showing up all the detail.
It's a 13k serial number, still with the older pad cups (round sided), but with the ball-and-socket side Bb and C connectors.
