olds ambassador trumpet serial number list

Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Log In Sign Up User account menu 3 I have a used Olds Ambassador Trumpet, trying to sell it.

I dont play the trumpet, it came into my possession years ago and Im basically looking to get some spare change for a friends birthday this weekend.

Im taking it to a music store later today to sell it used to them, now I know that I wont get the best price there but I doubt I can find another buyer sooner.

Im hoping to get at least 40 bucks I know thats low, but this music store usually looks at the lowest price the instrument is going for on ebay and then gives you half of that.

Is 40 too high or too low What do you guys think I know nothing about trumpets, and yes I realize Im probably going to get ripped off but honestly I just need quick cash for this weekend.

Its not like this thing is going to be worth 700 bucks or anything like that.

I can make it sing and make noises so it plays fine.

But using your logic of half the lowest price on eBay; I think 40 is probably reasonable.

These are older student-model horns, but theyre but very solid, and a lot of people like them as back-up horns, for when their main trumpet may be in the shop, or for when theyre playing a gig where their horn may become damaged.

I paid 40 for one in 7-out-of-10 condition about 10 years ago.

I got a pretty good deal at the time, though.

If its in good condition you could probably get more than 40 for it.

But if youre willing to let it go for 40 find a middle school that has a band program and sell it to someone starting off.

A lot of kids come from low income families and more often than not can only afford the cheap 100 ebay china trumpet.
