Where to buy cheaper professional Selmer clarinet

Author: Trismegistos

Hello,
I have been searching for professional Henri Selmer (Signature / Recital / Privilege) clarinet for price around $1500. Where can I buy it? I'm from the Czech republic and it is very tough to meet anyone offering these instruments for lesser price then $3500 and you definitely wouldn't find it in a second hand goods store.

1)Ebay and other Internet auctions
So far, I've only tried several auctions on Ebay, but it's uneasy to win there and what is more important, in case I would win i can't try the instrument before buying and something tells me that if they sell brand new Selmer Recital for $1500, it probably isn't the nicest piece...Do anyone have some experience?

2) Music Messe Frankfurt
Now i consider to visit International Music Messe in Frankfurt, Germany. I was told there is a lot of good instruments. But I really need to know if such a visit makes any sense. Do they (Selmer Paris) sell it cheaper there?

3) Visiting France..
Maybe it is common to find Selmer Paris clarinets in any second hand goods store (bazaar) directly in France, Paris..?

Or is there some better way to achieve my goal?

I would really appreciate if you could help me. Thanks!
