Mike Franch Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I followed the link to the Ebay listing out of curiosity (I play EC). The starting point struck me as surprisingly low. I know that there are not a huge number of McCann players out there, but I would have thought that the starting price would have been way higher.

Someone may get a bargain - but there may be a last second rush in bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new english Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi Guys I have seen the Wheatstone McCann 58 that’s on eBay but I’m rather taken by the smaller Wheatstone 46 button I have it has a nice small comfortable feel and mastering it is going to take at least 20years with only 46 buttons LOL My friend martin (a double bass player ) loves the portability and feel of my 46 Wheatstone and he really wants a similar smaller type concertina Thanks Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the seller knows that he is selling something special that is bound to attract interest from serious buyers. The risk of it going for a silly low price is small. On the other hand, having confidence, activity and movement. in the auction helps get a good price, and that is best achieved by not having a high starting price.

Dirge Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I followed the link to the Ebay listing out of curiosity (I play EC). The starting point struck me as surprisingly low. I know that there are not a huge number of McCann players out there, but I would have thought that the starting price would have been way higher. Someone may get a bargain - but there may be a last second rush in bidding. £2150. A decent price for such a beast, I'd have thought. Sylvia should be pleased.
