I don't get it. Is it because of the pedigree?

WEll one person bid on it ... 5 times until it met reserve. It ain't worth $1700 US though. According to the ad ... once you do the conversion ... he claims to have bought it for close to $5000. That seems a bit untruthful.

Well, I think we have some errors:

1. UK Military bands play cornets, not trumpets, plus they are issued not player selected

2. 3000 pounds!!!! Get Real

3. Poor spelling from an English school boy, don't think so

I'd pass!!!

Let me say that I saw this last night on E-bay. I think it's the name that is making it go so high priced.
