Jim, I don't think Molly is a wheeler-dealer, nor an experienced Ebayer, so I'd suggest her not buy anything on a lark. By the time you add up EBay fees and expose yourself to crafty buyers, her parents could be out $100 for nothing and she would still not have a suitable trumpet.

Now, it may be that this horn is an ml (there's discussion to that affect here and on TH). In that case, I'd say "go for it."

I know that you can know the "blow" of a horn just by its dimensions at the 2d valve; however, I'd say, why even mess with a large measuring horn when there are so many known horns available that we know will work for her?
