anyone notice the Eclipse on Ebay?

mike ansberry · 05-11-2006, 12:25 PM

A nice looking Solar Bell model. Last time I looked it was going for $700. Hmmmm

With a BIN of $2,600 I doubt that it'll sell unless there is a last-minute buyer. Leigh has been made aware of the horn and might even pick it up himself. You note that it is a .470 model.

The guy is in Saginaw Michigan.

He is open to anyone who wants to go there and play it.

I don't see a minimum bid. He'll have to sell to the high bidder or break the contract, right? So far his feedback is 100%. Personally, I'd break the contract before I'd sell it for that much less than it is worth.

That's a great horn, I've played it last year at the NYTC Boston trumpet fest. It has a huge core and BIG (!!!!!!!!!) sound. It's a big bore and bell but if you like open horns and/or use a high compression mouthpiece it's an incredible trumpet.

FWIW,

Oooops. Now I see that there is a reserve on it.

What is the going rate on a new one?

NYTC · 05-12-2006, 04:29 PM

$3500

It's scam time!!!

I just got a second chance offer on the Eclipse!!!

I think I'll change my Ebay name to "Sucker"! THey must think I'm really stupid. THe horn didn't even reach the reserve, but they want me to think that he's now going to sell it to me at a reduced price.

Big time scam I have no less then 8 requests to purchase this horn on second chance. I turned them all in to eBay. I feel sorry for schilkeman, who is the seller. Be very aware of scamers. Thanks Jackboyko
