Take a look at this horn for sale on ebay and tell me what you think.
It looks like a moron or a scam. I can't tell which. They won't respond to an email question.

No pictures, no punctuation? No problem

The 0 feedback creates hesitancy and the lack of response to your emails seals the NO DEAL for me.

although its hard to figure out whats being sold and wade through all the lack of punctuation and capitalization i have to agree that despite the mentioned medical difficulties generating some modest sympathy id pass on this one

Jeez.
Throw a period in there once in a while and correct your spelling before you make a listing. Must be different down there in Arkansas with those "Profesional grade" trumpets. Call me crazy, but I think this guy might be a pro player...rrrrright

Regards.

A long sentence indeed. Let's all test our breath support ... can anyone read aloud the entire description in one breath? Unfortunately, circular breathing won't work to well on this excercise.

HA!

I'm passing on this one as well!

I think reading it in one breath is more a test of quick speaking than breath support! I made it to "moderate enthusiast" in the 6th line. How bout you guys?

"Take a deep breath."
When I studied your language long time ago I learned about commas : "If in doubt leave it out". Great example.

I get out of breath just reading it silently!
Who pays $1600 for a blessing trumpet anyway?

Who would pay $1600 for this horn? Probably someone not too bright ... kind of like who wrote the auction for example ....
