Took a browsing of the Europen eBay and Yahoo auctions:

Nothing relevant surfaced within the $1.000 bracket. The only playable instrument within this pricefrace appears to be an old 3 rotary valved German BBb.

If I were a young student living in a country like Turkey, I would go to my school or university and ask the headmaster to motivate the custom officials to let me import an instrument without duties and taxes. And to have it shipped for free by the state airline.

Actually I have worked for a year in a country that took this attitude. Only they had no state airline back then.

From my own imports from the US I have learned, that $1000.00 easily are evaporating in costs, that have nothing to do with the aquisition of the instrument itself.
