Phil, I don't know that much about Selmer banjoes, in fact I have never heard of them, but a decent short neck will cost you between $ 300 to $ 600 depending on the condition and manufacturer. I would try Mandolin Brothers in New York, they may be able to give you a more realistic price. I have an 1887 Bacon Blue Ribbon (17 fret) and it is valued about $550.00 american. I also tune it GDAE, it's almost standard tuning for Irish tunes. I have a longer neck (19 fret) framus which is tuned CGDA. Good luck
