I just sold an almost-completely-overhauled huge 4-piston Conn 24J for $2K to a local school...
(The valves were in factory-new condition and the factory lacquer on the valve section looks great. I removed all of the large bowa, removed all of the dents, and finally refinished/relacquered the big parts.)
I might have been able to ebay this one for $2400, but I would have lost around $100 (and credit card fees for selling it to an individual). Worst of all, I would have had to pack and ship it...
...The only big "negative" to selling it to a local school is that they well surely tear it back up in a month, and I'll be obligated (whether paid or not is not the issue with me) to fix it again.
