Wow -- a gold plated piece of Chinese junk. What else could you want?
From the ad:
You would be lucky to find a BRAND NEW 24k *REAL* GOLD PLATED trumpet for anything less than $3000. 24k Gold mouthpieces alone cost over $150 in most music stores. Ask any music store and verify that it costs over $1000 for the GOLD PLATING alone! Here is an opportunity to own a REAL 24k GOLD PLATED ORIGINAL TRISTAR TRUMPET with a 24k GOLD PLATED MOUTHPIECE for under $1000 delivered to your doorstep!
$1 and no reserve. At the time of this post is was up to a whopping $21. This is a $3000 trumpet with $150 mouthpiece!
Oh my, what next?
Some poor sucker will bid this thing up to several hundred, and will have a gold-plated Chinese horn. It would make a stunning lamp.
I say, "run away, run away"
