mdarnton Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 What in impolite bunch of responses to a newcomer, with no justification but that he doesn't speak the language well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Coles Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Can we remind everyone to keep things civil? If everyone remembers to use sense and caution when contemplating any sale or purchase (and our various language limitations), speculation by the rest of us shouldn't be necessary. Thank you.

Orm Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 15 hours ago, Wolf Molkentin said: I wouldn't go that far - if not in fact harmless, the name "scam" might be sufficient... ? oh my of course I didn´t mean that, thanks for correcting me, and I´m sorry. I didn't want to insult anyone. Should have learned English language better. What I wanted to say - I am from Eastern Europe myself and it does look a bit suspicious to me. Not giving the telephone number but asking for one, for example. Also it's unclear how exactly this concertina ended up in the hands of the owner. But of course everybody can decide for himself. If such a remark shouldn't exist in the sale thread I can remove my comments. Best, Roman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polavoy Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Might it be possible to sell a concertina through one of the respected restorers. It would verify it’s credentials and suggest a fair price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazzy Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Yes, I will meet with the seller (hopefully next week) and will post some update here on the forum. I own Jeffries, which I've bought through this forum from Paul Read and which has been restored by Colin Dipper, so I believe I am able to judge the condition, playability and estimate the overhaul price. Surprisingly I can still read cyrillic (learned before Velvet revolution in 1989) and even though Ukrainian is different language, I understand enough to trust the seller is genuine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazzy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 So, we have finally met, the guy is real ?as well as the concertina. It is 38key Bb/F in old pitch, not much playable now - missing handstraps, out of tune, some a bit rusty reeds, cracked action board on RH (few ghosty notes at a time) and other leaks (pads, valves need to be replaced). Those notes on LH (without crack) sound promising, difficult to judge RH. I have bought it to bring it to playing condition, though it will take some time and money, will post pictures and recording when the project is completed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to learn - however I reckon what you've paid is not near 6 k$.... ? Good luck from me as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazzy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 we’ve agreed not to share the price, but yes, it was not 6K, that won’t be reasonable ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
