I purchased a YBB 621 a couple of years ago on e-bay for a good price. I've found it to be an OK horn. I also have an old Conn 20J. The Conn has a much bigger sound while the much smaller Yamaha has better flexibility and response and with the fourth valve it has a lower range. As I get older and abdominal fat cells encroach upon my lung capacity, the 621 is a nice choice because it takes a lot less air.
I would look on e-bay as 621s come up occasionally. As I recall the last YBB 621 sold for under $2500. That is about as much as I would pay. I got mine for less than $2000 with a case, but the seller didn't post a picture which always lowers the bid prices. At that time the best price I could find for a new one from a dealer was $4800 with out a case. I certainly wouldn't pay any where near that price.
