If it truly is new in the wrapper, the price is NOT unreasonable. $1200+ may well be in the upper range of value. AND, it might be worth more.
There is no question that the S1 was not a success as a model; if it was Buffet would still manufacture it. (easy, let's not shoot the messenger, OK?)
Any number of clarinets appeal to any number of perople. DSFDF.
Caveat: When people write narrative detail for auctions their use of written, descriptive prose may be a reality to them, and NOT to others. For every clarinet or Sax that the Seller claimed was "new/never touched, virgin, only played at the factory" and had been "lost in the backroom or buried in the store room"
The Clarinet's wrapper or plastic bags that originally housed easch separate part of the clarinet may still be in the case. Some people never throw anything away.
I am usually _leary_ of situations where a 25 y/o (GREAT) instrument was never sold. Of course, it would have nothing to do with the dreaded curse (intonation deficiency) ! On the other mano, it is entirely possible that everything I doubt is actually true. It may still be in the wrapper w/lovely intonation.
