Typically how old is the sax that you buy brand new from a retailer?
The Cannonball that I bought new in October 2011 has an engraving certificate dated December 2009.Typically how old is the sax that you buy brand new from a retailer?
But.....weren't you told it had been given as a present a year previously?Well My 475-II has been checked and is only a MONTH old !! . you`d think that someone who`d paid that kinda price for something would make sure the recipient actually would want it ! . I got a good deal (for once - I usually end up paying more than everyone else)
As long as you got a good deal.I wasn`t told how long it was, I assumed based on evidence - There was one on Preloved which the owner had done this with and it had sold .. then suddenly a dealer gets an unplayed 475-II in and I assume its the same one ......... obviously it wasn`t - I thought at the time that they must have dropped the price a hell of a lot for the dealer have been able to sell it to me for almost what the Preloved buyer was asking AND make a workable profit .. Obviously the dealer didn`t disclose how much they paid or who they got it off .
Looks like there were two , a regular buyer must have got the Preloved one - the dealer clears out a lot of shops and studios anyway
