Yamaha Brass instruments usually are decent in quality, even the student models are decent. The Yamaha top of the line ZENO Trumpets sell for over $2,000 new. There are identifying numbers and letters some where on the horn tell will reveal it's identity. When you find out look up completed sales on ebay, The same for the Flute or any other item that you want to sell. Ebay has become a good indication of what price the market will bare( what used prices that people are paying for something in the current economy)

VERY IMPORTANT___ GET PERMISSION FROM YOUR PARENTS BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THIS ! Please Talk to them about it first .

Good luck with your musical pursuits

there is a link for a flute that is exactly the same but maybe like 10 years older...do you think its worth that much? it looks exactly the same as the one in the add same case and everything

I don't know flutes...but I see the seller hasn't sold any of the other woodwinds he had listed so I imagine that he is asking more than what that flute is worth.
A search of completed listings for selmer bundy flutes show most sales at under 100 dollars.
completed listings

There have been several incarnations of SELMER. Selmer Bundy was for the most part a good student instrument. The HIGH END Selmer would be SELMER PARIS ____ Yes made in France! I have a few Selmer Paris Trumpets . Louis Armstrong favoured the Selmer Paris Trumpet through much of his life time (model 19A balanced). Now there is also SELMER U.S.A. BACH , it is very popular; which I also like .

They rarely go for 800. This is an early one (1983) with the koa body wings. Needs some love and attention, but as it appears nothing major.

Never give up hope. I was 18 years old when I purchased my first Alembic Series 1 at San Francisco Guitar Centers. It taken me months to pay it off. I put $300.00 down on it, and the store agent put the bass in the back room, and slapped a sold tag on it. Sometimes I would enter the store with money, and I would play it for a while, and other times I would just play it and leave the store. But on the day I had the last payment, I was so excited, and to this day, I loved every moment of that purchase.

So, my best of luck goes to you, and I would love to read your fish tales, on how you caught that great MARLIN!

Peace and Love,

And... as Phil Collins once said.. Something happened in the way to heaven, since 8teven's profile has been deleted from the system. Seems to me like the I'd do anything statement does not involves perseverance...

His account may have been deleted by a bug in the software. I'll post a quick note on the AB&G page.
