| The sad truth is that there isn't much of a market for used student level instruments. Due to a faulty valve guide in my son's Holton student model trumpet, he has been using my old Strad - when we bought his student horn, I didn't have my Schilke B6, but since I have had it, my Strad is sort of the "extra" trumpet in the house.
Since he has been using my Strad, I didn't see much need to keep the student model horn around anymore so I was going to check into selling it, and putting the cash toward a decent guitar tube amp - my son is more of a guitar player than a trumpet player and I don't see that he will continue with trumpet much longer. What I found when I went to sell it (checked into ebay) was pretty discouraging. If I want to get it sold, I'm probably going to take a substantial hit, even in light of the fact that I got an excellent deal to begin with due to being a good friend of the music store owner.
Good luck with it - I hope you find a buyer.
