In the world of saxophone collectibles, items range from absolute kitch<\/a>, to high art<\/a>, to everything in between<\/a>. In my weblog I have tried to present a little of everything.<\/p>\n

Because I do offer such a wide variety of saxophone collectibles for your viewing pleasure, I’ve developed this handy scale with which you can grade an item along a continuum. \":mrgreen:\"   I apologize in advance to any serious art historians and collectors out there. I’m sure I’ve overlooked at least a couple of the major classifications. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

With today’s saxophone collectible offering, I’ll let you determine for yourself where on the Kitsch Scale this item falls…<\/p>\n

This morning on eBay I noticed what is being described as a Saxophone Player Art Deco Metal Wine Bottle Holder<\/a>. (They really didn’t use any commas. However, I refused to shout at you and capitalize the description. My compromise was to capitalize the first letter of each word. )<\/p>\n

As ecworldimports says in their ad, the price for this wine bottle holder is $44.99. But wait… What’s this… The eBay listing shows the price as $59.99. What’s going on? That’s a difference of $15.00.<\/p>\n

If I was interested in this wine bottle holder, I’d be getting in touch with one of the nice, smiling, customer service people that is shown in the eBay ad…<\/p>\n

…and ask what’s going on. I’d demand to pay no more than $44.99. Hey, but that’s just me.<\/p>\n

In the province where I live there is a law that requires merchants to sell for the lower price, in a situation where 2 prices are shown for the same product. Since this a California company selling on eBay however, all bets are off.<\/p>\n

Perhaps not surprisingly, more than 10 of these saxophone player, wine bottle holders are available. There is no closing date for the auction given. It just says it ends 8 days from today, but I suspect these guys are going to be around again, and again, and again…<\/p>\n
