I just came to the site. I recently visited a local Pawn shop and spotted a Benge 3x I think. I came here looking how to analyze whether or not to buy it or try to negotiate on it.

What condition is it in and how much are they asking?

It seemed to be in good condition as far as not having any dents. I don't really know how else to analyze it. The slides worked and the valves didn't stick. It was extremely fingerprinted and tarnished I believe. The silver didn't shine. I don't know if this is a true silver trumpet or just a stainless steel or something. They wanted $500. I didn't try to haggle, but you know pawn shops are always wanting to make a deal. Usually they know what they got too though. I dunno.
