Recently bought and returned a junk but playable SA80 I Bari purchased on ebay and now have the opportunity to buy the same horn, but this one is close to mint condition and is sold locally. Any idea on a fair price for this horn?

Typically, $3500-$4000

i was thinking more 4-5k range. i offered him 4500 and he was asking 6200. He is going to ask a music store/consignment what he can get for it. Then he might take my offer. Am i giving him too much?

I have a good friend that bought a used one a few years back for $4000.

$3500 - $4000. I've even seen them a little cheaper. The ones at the over $5000 level on Ebay seem to stay there forever.
Don't be surprised if the Music store gives him an inflated value and then hangs on to it for a while.
