I've got a Dukoff (Miami stamp) D8 soprano piece that I used to play back in my younger years (very loud bands - that mouthpiece is powerful). But these days I don't play in loud bands anymore (I quit years ago while I still have some of my hearing left) so I play a much tamer setup.

I just pulled that Dukoff out and blew thru it a bit - it's a great sounding piece but more open than I play these days. I measured it and it's .075 tip. I just did a Google search and apparently these are a hot item because of Kenny G (surprise to me). Some guy has a nasty looking one on eBay for $800 which seems crazy to me. What is a realistic value for this? Mine still looks good with original ligature and cap (but not the box).

I think USD$1000 should be a fair price nowadays, just while now in pandemics, it looks not to ask for that as easy as before.

Is that different from the D8 they still make? You can buy a new one of those for about $250.

A thousand bucks for a Silverite Dukoff?

Man, I want some of whatever you're smoking!

'The Chosen One' clearly decides the market value . Just like the original blue jumbo java, older Beecher Belites, worth more without any real reason. Pretty sure I saw one on Facebook for $1250.

$50 - $75 depending on condition. That's about all I'd pay.

For a possible point of reference, in 2016 I put up a D7 for sale here at $450 in good condition, and ultimately had to drop the price to $325 over 3~4 months before it sold.

Almost the same scenario played out for me too.
