I originally posted this as a response on another thread when a guy posted a link to an eBay horn sale
eBay: AMREIN 8121S Trumpet; $4000.00+ new! (item 290113888062 end time May-20-07 15:00:00 PDT):

Mark,
I have a question -- why would you sell a horn that plays like no other you have ever come across?
I have sold many horns in my day, but the horns I currently have are the horns that are the best I've ever owned. There is no way I would sell these horns if I did not have a horn in my hands that out-played them. Call me selfish, but I'd rather the horn sit on a shelf in my house, ready for when I want to play it, than be owned by another person and no longer available to me.
This is a serious question -- if the horn "comes alive in your hands" is it not worth keeping for when you play the trumpet?

So can anyone explain why you would sell the best horn you have ever owned unless you are financially strapped, or in poor health? I don't mean this thread in any form of disrespect -- I just can't imagine letting my main horns go for any rational reason.
