…I thought that perhaps I was reliving April 1 again. Maybe this was an April Fool’s Day joke that went into overtime. However, as I read through the ad I started to think that this seller was serious.<\/p>\n

Check out the details below, and then decide what you think. Is the seller serious? Or is he just foolin’ around? <\/em>(Original ad colours and font styles retained as much as possible to preserve authenticity.) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Wow, does eBay charge by the word? If it does, that would explain the price of this vintage reed box\u2014oh yeah, and the 6 vintage reeds.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

This vintage Brilhart tenor saxophone reed box with 6 bonus reeds<\/a>\u2014which hopefully have not been used\u2014can be yours for only $389.89. Yup, you read that right. For just under $400.00 you can own an old reed box which contains 6 vintage reeds. (At least 2 appear to be of a different brand, as they are stamped Selmer, while the others aren’t.)<\/p>\n

If you think this is a great deal and you’d like to add these babies to your collection of vintage saxophone paraphernalia, then you have 8 days left to get them at the Buy It Now price listed above. Or you can always try your luck at making the seller an offer.<\/p>\n

BTW, how’s the economy where you live? Don’t forget the seller wrote:<\/p>\n

Unless he’s willing to accept a lot<\/strong><\/em><\/span> less than the BIN price, I’m guessing it’s going nowhere quick.<\/p>\n
