alan56 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 As a newish player, and ebay novice, I am interested in this Lachenal Edeophone, and would be grateful for the opinions of other concertina players. Any advice ? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Jowaisas Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I seem to remember seeing these pictures on eBay a few months ago. Anyone else with a recollection? Zero feedback for an ebay seller is not usually a good indication. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 The seller might just be a concertina player who hasn't sold on eBay before, but the lack of feedback could definitely be a warning sign. I'd suggest asking them to play it over the telephone or post some sound files to make sure that they really have the instrument. If you live close enough, visiting them and trying it out would be an even better idea. If not, bear in mind that you'd be buying an expensive object from an unknown seller and factor the risk involved in that into the price that you're willing to pay. On the other hand, the Barleycorn connection (assuming that the sale is legit) is a good sign. Daniel I seem to remember seeing these pictures on eBay a few months ago.

Dirge Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'd say as long as you can collect it don't worry about the lack of feedback; you can make sure you get what you bid for at the time. I wouldn't want to just post a cheque off. It looks quite nice, doesn't it? There are some splits in the ends, whether those are a potential problem I don't know enough to comment but I've heard elsewhere of edeophone wooden ends collapsing after prolonged exposure to central heating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Husmann Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi folks, I am absolutely sure to have seen these pictures some time ago. I´d follow the advise to let the seller have a go over the telephone. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only presume it was dodgy in some way, as some of you warned it could be. Isn't this forum wonderful ? Many thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
