Hi all:

What would be your best avg. guess pricing on a Exc. shape (only minor scratches on bottom bow) circa 1994 Super Action 80 serie II? all orig, pads good, no repairs etc..
This is a relatives horn who bought it 10 years ago but son decided to play guitar..

thanks

alto or tenor?

Sorry...It's an Alto

here in Holland between 1250 euro and 2000 (a big range, I know, but it is possible to buy altos for little money since the marketplace is littered with them)

Thanks all for info...It has been sitting for a number of years in the humid south...nice solid horn, with normal very minor corrosion...no dents or major scratches..(probably need some pads + corks)
I think they will sell it cheap and I will try and re-sell on ebay or here.
thanks

If you can get it really cheap might be a nice little earner , but I think you know that buying is always a hell of a lot easier than selling! Good Luck!

OK..picked it up (after the 120 mile drive---one way) sheesh!
Nice Solid horn...minor lacquer wear (still about 90%)..has the usual lacquer wear and mild corrosion around the joints and tone holes etc..(but Im also very picky) very little scratches---it was a steal---
Will need some pads replaced and a few corks...


I will clean it up a bit and selling it locally (craiglist)...If I get more pics I will post it on the Sale Forum here and give SOTW folks a break in price...
