Am I having a nightmare or is this an instrument graveyard being auctioned?

WOW - Yer rite, Morrigan, lots of OLDT stock, prob. most needs a lot of repair time to recover value. There might still be some real goodies for knowledgable dealer-repairers. I'll tell my music-store and repair-shop friends to look and maybe visit, MN is not too far away! Rather formidable 1st bid and ?reserve?, and shipping! Don

This lot would go well with the used reeds we saw a couple of days ago.
Imagine opening all the musty cases at once for these never-cleaned school instruments. Send them to Saddam and watch him cry gas attack. To make him suffer even worse, play them all in "unsion."

Hey, I live in St. Cloud and have no clue who this is. I will ask around to see if it is "on the level." How does one accumulate so much "stuff"?

Jean -
Easy. You look for a school that's closing and has a whole raft of low-grade, worn out instruments they were going to toss in the dumpster. Buy them for $100 and try to make a killing on eBay.
