Callet Jazz Flugelhorn - EBAY

jophst · Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 1:00 pm Post subject: Callet Jazz Flugelhorn - EBAY

Looks like a decently priced Callet Jazz flugel with a Buy Now of $1200.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64374&item=7328769573&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

You don't see these very often, so if you need a matching flugel for the Callet Jazz trumpet, I would jump on this one.

Good luck,

Wow, this guy is selling a bunch of nice horns at very reasonable buy it now prices. Have you dealt with this seller before?

Josh,
I'd be careful with this one! You know the saying..."if it looks to good to be true it probably is!! First of all his feeback rating isn't all that good. Secondly his prices, to me, actually seem rather low. He states he has to figure out how to put pics up for the flugel yet all of his other auctions have pictures of the item that's up for auction! It may be 100% legit ...personally I wouldn't take a chance!

looks like this guy must have been reading here and figured his initial $1200 was too low. Now it is listed as $1400 BIN.

I have never dealt with him before personally, and it looks like noone else had either as his feedback appears to be primarily as a buyer and not a seller.

His price has gone up to $1400 .... $1200 would have been quite the bargain. I still feel that the guy is legit though.

I am the EBAY seller... The horns have gone up a bit on the BIN because I never used Ebay as a seller and realized after no activity that EBAY is like a slow play poker hand. With such a big gap a precisely placed low bid could screw me. I expected people to snatch them up right away. I edited the sale from 3 days to 5 and adjusted prices. They are still great prices and the horn pariculary the Callet JAzz Flugel is in Fantastic Condition.. I believe I now Set the 1st bid at the BIN and the Buy it now is a bit higher... I am getting the same fraud emails I used to get on the market place... Also even though I say only USA A bunch of people want me to ship to Australia and JApan ... I am afraid of getting Ripped off!!!

Tuningbell,

I have sold things on ebay to Australia and Japan with great success (all had great feedback). I have also sold items to Germany, Belgium and England with positive results. I would stay away from any other country and even if you do decide to sell to these countries be careful. A few years ago there was a guy in Japan who was buying a lot of Benges and I sold him two at one time. He sent me a Global Express Envelope with cash in it. A strange but profitable deal.

I'm not really sure if the raising of the prices strategy is going to work. Your opening bid of $1175 on the flugel is almost as high as your Buy Now of yesterday ($1200).

You're going to raise them some more if people don't bid?

yes ... if people bid the BIN is removed and the auction is in Play. Many people are watching so I figure some one will fire a bid at the lowest option put the auction in play and get the horn and I max my sale price

That's what I get for not taking advantage of that $1400 bin price on your Taylor.

bummer!

That's actually a neat idea with the price increase... you'll notice in my other post I was questioning it but now that you explained it makes total sense. Get those impulse people like me salivating.

Best,

Trent

yes the CB piccolo was sold for 630.00 including shipping ... MAil Box Etc is a total rip off. The boxes they sell to fit horns go as oversize and are costing about 60/horn ... I am standing by my shipping charges but I am going to explore priority mail ... A guy needed the horn ASAP and I ended the Auction to him for 560 + 70 = 630

While I initially didn't get the whole "no bids? jack the price" thing initially, it kinda makes sense. The only thing that gets me is that I MISSED GETTING THE CORNET FOR $200 LESS LAST NIGHT! AUGHHHHHHH!!!!!

It's all good.

For those questioning or wondering if John is legit, he is. When I paid via PayPal, I included a note about how I was buying on the assumption that the haziness in the picture was due to either the horn needing a cleaning or camera issues, and that I was concerned that it might be due to plating wear.

Not 5 minues later I got an email from him with a phone number to call him. We chatted for about 15 minutes about the cornet, the other horns he had up on Ebay, his new endorsement deal (no I won't reveal with whom). He seems like a genuinely straightforward guy.

What I learned about ebay today. If you end aution to highest bidder you do not get their MAX bid you get the next bid. I really excpected to shut it off early and get the price I wanted ... Anyway the horn was shipped off today to its new owner at the 560 + 70 price and yes it did cost me almost 70 to ship the horn... MAil Box etc is evil... Cost me a few hundred but another trumpet player will be able to play the horn .. I stand behind my deals
