post selmer bari value

What is a fair price for a Bb bari in good playing condition? Not mint, many repairs done but in good playing condition?

A friend needs an approximate value after repairs to estimate what to offer on an ex-school horn needing work and unplayable. Complete - with serviceable case.
 
my suggestion, as I have no idea, would be to check completed listings on ebay for Buescher bari's and see what the post Selmer buyouts sold for....if there are any. that should be a fair estimate of what they're worth or at least it would give you a starting point.
 
Remember: post-Selmer-buy-out = Bundy. Yes, I know that the Bundy is based on the Aristocrat (but with 400 bell keys), but it is something to keep in mind, particularly if you can't specifically find the year you're looking for online.

This one, which does need work, sold for all of $331 and a Keilwerth Bundy sold for all of $531. Here's a B400 that sold for $610. Sarge's overhaul prices are more than those horns ($1269).

So, there ya go.
