Item Description & Conditions of Sale, Payment Options and Delivery Costs: |
What ?? - Not worth $1,000 ?? So how about we make a deal at the REAL value (meaning that price a willing buyer and a willing seller agree is fair to each other!). After looking over the description, images & other details below just click on the ”Make Offer” box and follow the procedural steps to let us know what it's worth to YOU. You will then receive our acceptance and invoice, a declination, or a counteroffer. It’s that easy – but please be reasonable and SINCERE because once we accept your fair offer or you accept our counteroffer we are both contractually obligated to complete the transaction!
ARTICLE DESCRIPTION: Your "BEST OFFER" (if accepted), will IMMEDIATELY PURCHASE the pictured CARLTON 'ARISTOCRAT' B-flat TRUMPET and original hard shell carrying case. A mouthpiece (stamped 7C) is also included, as is an older mute. The instrument is marked with serial number 293775. We do not know where or when this instrument was made - but the widow from whom it purchased it believed her husband had obtained it 'about' 25 years ago.
Approximate DIMENSIONS: The bell is 4-11/16" in diameter and the overall length without the mouthpiece is 19-18".
CONDITION: This instrument is in excellent original condition. There are NO dings, dents, heavy scratches, corrosion or staining, loss of plating, frozen or sticky valves or tubes, or any other detracting factors. The carrying case is also problem-free and quite serviceable.

A FEW POINTS TO KNOW..........
1. AUTOMATIC OFFER DECLINATIONS: Please be aware that a "minimum offer threshold" is affixed to most of our listings and if you receive an instant declination it is because your offer is below that reserve threshold amount. Since you are limited to submitting no more than 3 offers on a single listing you should keep this eBay rule in mind to ensure that your REASONABLE and SINCERE offer is actually sent to us by eBay. If you have received two of these automatic declinations you may wish to send us a question or message before using your last offer option because your declinations may have been based on something as simple as your having not considered the out-of-pocket costs of 'FREE' shipping which we must recover. 2. YOUR SPECIAL TERMS: You may specify special terms in connection with your offer as long as they are mentioned when you present your offer (just provide your 'conditions,' if any, when you're asked for Special Terms). For example, you may wish to ask us to consider allowing a delayed or optional payment or to ship by other than our default preference (USPS) or you may wish us to consider a lower offer based on you personally picking up the item locally; or you may want a faster acceptance/declination decision than the 48 hours generally allowed, etc. (You may, of course, at any time click the "Ask a question" link to contact us about this listing without having to submit an offer. If you prefer to speak by phone then please provide YOUR name and telephone number in your inquiry and we will call you first chance). 3. UNAVAILABLE ITEMS: We may have this or any of our inventory available for sale in a local retail setting or thru another online platform/s. We make every effort to promptly remove from this site any inventory which has been sold elsewhere but there is always the slight chance of delayed deletions and your offer having to be declined because of unavailability. However, once you've received a 'SOLD' email or invoice from eBay you can rest assured that we have made a deal and your merchandise will not be available to anyone else; locally or on-line.
4. ABOUT 'FREE' SHIPPING: As specified herein, FREE packing, handling, shipping, and/or insurance will be included in the price of items on which you have made an offer and which are subsequently purchased from us for shipment to points within the 50 United States. Please ignore any statement reading "Best offer price is for the item(s) only" as we do absorb these costs and you will only be invoiced for the total amount of your purchase. If you have a shipping preference on which you are basing an offer, it MUST be entered on the eBay MAKE OFFER page where requested to 'Add additional terms.' If you do not mention or specify a shipping preference then we will assume that you have no preference and consideration or acceptance of your offer will be based on the condition that WE shall retain the exclusive right to select a shipping option based on your location and our cost and/or convenience. However, based on the weight, size or nature of an item (or item/s in the case of multiple purchases), you can anticipate our offer of FREE shipping within the 50 United States to ordinarily follow the following guidelines - - - - (NOTE: Commercial INSURANCE is provided without additional charge if shipped by common carrier or on any package shipped via the USPS and containing an item or items valued at OVER $50 - we reserve the right to self-insure low valued packages).
If total packaged weight is not over 13 ounces: FREE USPS First-Class Mail* plus FREE delivery confirmation service.
If total packed weight is over 13 oz but not over 2 lbs (no weight limit if we can safely use a USPS Flat Rate Box):
FREE USPS Priority Mail* plus FREE delivery confirmation service.
If, because of size or weight, neither of the above options would be applicable:
FREE packing, shipping, and delivery confirmation service using a carrier AND service of OUR CHOICE (for example, UPS, DHL, FedEx, USPS Parcel Post, USPS Priority Mail, USPS Media Mail etc). We ordinarily use USPS Priority Mail or Parcel Post --- and only select an alternative carrier in unusual situations.
* (On shipments of books, or other item/s qualifying for USPS Media Mail rates, we reserve the right to substitute Media Mail with delivery confirmation service for First-Class or Priority Mail unless your offer specifies otherwise).
