Maintenance is just a given. I don't think that it should be included in the "value" of your horn. I think that value should always be figured from the condition of the horn when you first got it. For example, my CC needed a new leadpipe, some valve work and some plating work when I purchased it. I have added the cost of those things on to the purchase price of the horn to figure its value. I have not included the cost of dent work or cleanings to its value.
