GUEST,Songster Bob Tech: Orpheum tenor banjo info. (8) RE: Tech: Orpheum tenor banjo info. 01 Jul 07


In eBay completed items is one Orpheum #3, which sold for $685. This is probably slightly under what a collector might pay for it, since the serious collector wants to see and check out the instrument before buying. Being able to try before buying is one reason eBay is typically under what collectors will pay, at least for antique instruments.

So say $700-750 would be a good ballpark figure. Perhaps more, if you find the right buyer. But not less than $650 as a valuation (or, for insurance purposes, $10,000).
