$140,000 Trumpet probably bogus

Rick Chartrand · 11-05-2005, 04:30 PM

I was reading in here a few days ago about a Blackburn trumpet that was going for $140,000 on eBay. I thought there was something fishy about a horn that was selling for as much as a house

After seeing this, I think its safe to say that the auction was indeed bogus

Well, like I said... with the sudden death of Dr. Molarian Courley it became a moot point for me. I'll hold on to my horns and wait for another opportunity another day.

Clue me in who's Dr. Molarian Courley?

Manny Laureano · 11-06-2005, 03:00 PM

A great man, player, and financier of great horns.
