Here is basic info about the 10B at Conn Loyalist:
The Conn Loyalist
The Conn 22B is much more in demand than the Conn 10B, and it is rare to see a Conn 22B sell for $400 on eBay.
The 22B's that do sell for that much are in *excellent* condition both mechanically and cosmetically.
So $400 seems a bit steep for a Conn 10B.
But buying from a retailer is usually more expensive than buying from individuals, when it comes to buying trumpets or cars or anything else.
Conn 10B's don't appear for sale very often, so if you have decided that you want a Conn 10B rather than some other model or make of trumpet, it might be a while before you see another one.
But considering that there is less demand for that model, $400 seems rather steep.
Depending on condition, I think $250 would be more reasonable.
