Have I missed something, or is this cornet way overpriced?

Perhaps he has missed something! That is way overpriced although vintage.

Yup... I spotted that one when it first came up and thought about emailing the seller to help him get a better line on what these go for. He may benefit from some good info.

Looks like the Antique Road Show strikes again!

Shame he wants soooo much. It looks like a really nice example of an 80A.

Seems he has used the horn many times and perhaps, holds a large sentimental value for him. Wouldn't blame him..and the only thing he'll lose is the fees to list it if it doesn't sell.

Can't blame him for trying. Whatever the Ebay marketplace will bear, as they say. I have to give the seller some credit, however. At least he isn't trying to sell another one of those cheap India-made piles of junk.
