I just dropped of 4 saxophones at a local music shop to get appraised and for them to possible buy them from me. There where a yamaha Alto, Yamaha Tenor, Yamaha Baritone, and a Woodwind/Braswind Soprano. When they call me back with a price what is a good price to say "yes keep them" or "no thats not enough"?? Thanks
It all depends on their model number and condition. Are they pro horns (YAS/YTS/82Z, 875EX or YBS 62)? Intermediate (YBS 52,YAS/TYS 475)? Student (YAS/YTS 23)?YAS is Yamaha Alto Sax, YTS it Yamaha tenor and YBS is Yamaha Bari.
This can depend on the condition, but you will usually get somewhere around (usually less than) half of what you bought them for, assuming there is a few years of use on them.
Either way, it's going to be easiest to sell to a music store (or maybe another one near you), I wouldn't expect get a better deal on Ebay, let alone the time it would take. If the deal doesn't sound good, check another store and if they're close enough to the first, just sell to them.
