koeter Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Interesting Duet on Ebay. Artickle 300270122884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jowaisas Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 This one has been on ebay for at least several months (at least that is when I noticed it!) The duet aficionados can comment authoritatively. Price seems more than a bit high to me. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Reeves Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The seller has many interesting musical instruments for sale. There is a Selmer guitar "Django" looking thing, and an old 1920s tenor banjo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 My German is clearly getting rustier and rustier; I couldn't work out what's going on. This isn't an auction, is it; it's a 'make an offer' based on E2890. So why does he say 'Heutiger Neupreis: 5.000,- British Pounds.' Doesn't that mean 'Today's new price £5000'? Are there really about £1.70 to each euro these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danersen Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) As of Thursday, 2100 Mountain Time, USA Relative to GBP = 1.00 EURO = 1.1454 (e.g., 1.1454 euros required to purchase 1.00 gbp) USD = 1.6269 (e.g., 1.6269 usd required to purchase 1.00 gbp) Straight exchange - without fees.

Dirge Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 That's more the sort of rate I'd have expected. Do you think he's suggesting it would cost £5000 to buy it new? (and if so I wonder who he's going to commission to build it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzertino Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 This instrument has been on ebay.de for over two years and has been covered on this forum before. An ebay-dealer bought it off an ebay-broker some 20 months ago, who had offered it to me for 2.000 - but I refused.... I have contacted the seller over a year ago informing hin that the price was a little high ( at 2500 Euro ) . Consequently he raised the price. Chirs Algar had some nice duets at Witney - at least you know, what you are getting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro_squeezer Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Colin Dipper had a really nice Wheatstone 80-button Maccan at Kilve that went for 2,000GBP. It was in extremely good condition. This fellow's price seems a bit high to me, in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
