Now all you have to do is re-mortgage the house, sell the RV, the car, & anything else that might not already have a lien against it, and this amazing set of vintage Americana can be yours for\u00a0the Buy It Now Price<\/strong> of $350,000.<\/strong> You will have to go to New York to pick the saxes\u00a0up however, because the seller will not ship the\u00a0instruments.<\/p>\n

Now with all TV advertising shtick aside \ud83d\ude09 , this is truly an amazing collection of vintage American saxophones.\u00a0However what a strange time for Dr. Rick to put them up for sale as a full collection, and not individually. The\u00a0only\u00a0horn that\u00a0has its own price, is the\u00a0dragon engraved Conn soprano<\/a>. It\u00a0carries a price tag of 20K.<\/p>\n

In any event, what a great way\u00a0for Dr.\u00a0Rick to draw attention to the collection of rare vintage horns he has for sale. Even if they don’t sell as a full set by the auction’s close date, people now know\u00a0what he has. Serious collectors\u00a0will\u00a0know who to call.<\/p>\n

BTW, does anyone know what a King Manzello\u00a0& a Martin American Professional are? I have never seen, or\u00a0even heard of them. My curiosity has now been peaked. I’m going to do some research to see what I can find out about these rare saxes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
