Asking the board folks, how to evaluate the gold plated King sousa with reconditioned valves (starting at $ 999,95) being on auction right now. I wonder, why there is no bid as yet, since I suppose the original sales price between 1925 and 1930 might be approx $ 500,-. So, the present quotation seems to be quite interesting.
Does anybody know, what makes sousa fans hesitate in this case, now that I found a similar horn on the same auction site at nearly $ 700,-- at present, but with quite some dents and not gold plated.
