Most know not to advertize their instruments on tubenet...unless in one of those (recently established tradition) long 1st-of-the-month "cattle calls".
If I listed I would only say (to try to avoid college boy flames):
(name: anon)
(email: actual or [better - a "hotmail" or "web" alternate email address)
"For sale - tuba model ________ approximately __________ years old. _________ finish. Condition is __________.
Email inquiries only, please.
- - - - - - - - - -
and do not state your asking price or any more specific info unless you're fishing for college boy flames. If someone asks a question on tubenet - inspite you you directing them to your email - resist the temptation to answer. Those with resources and enough interest to buy are also clever enough to follow instructions.
