I may have offered $20, because once had, it becomes a drive for a neck and a case, along with the overhaul it requires. Even DYI you are going to be hundreds of dollars into an instrument that you can sell for maybe a few hundred of dollars.

Not everyone is looking to flip an instrument.

Neither usually am I, having sold like maybe two or three over twenty years. However, I'm not sure why people think it isn't something that you should keep in mind.

I don't know about everyone but I know that I seem to have too much money because I keep buying frivolous stuff that I don't need. It gives me a good feeling when I can rescue something that probably does not yet have much value. Every now and again I discover something really good like the gold plated Conn C-mel I got on Shopgoodwill. I figure that probably there will come a point that whatever it is that it will be valuable to someone sooner or later. Besides a 1950s, American made musical instrument, even a student one has at least nostalgia going for it. I would even venture to say that put back in playable condition will out perform the inexpensive offerings on Amazon.
