This sale is the continuation of what I am calling my liquidation sale. over the next couple of weeks I will be listing the lions share of my personal collection. I have decided to scale back and at least for a while stop selling on eBay. Until eBay makes some changes to protect the seller from callous, and malicious lies from some buyers, I am choosing to just take a long break. So keep an eye on my listings for some amazing books, instrument catalogs, and instruments that will make fantastic Christmas gifts. Place a Bid!
