Hi M

That is a very god clarinet and as long as the body itself has no woord cracks, you can auction it off between $850 to $1300!. It is a good model!.
Just put a reserved price in case their is not many bid althoughm I doubt that you won't get bids!. This is a fine instrument!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

An R13 is a very good model, and it's very popular right now!. I play the clarinet and I know that they are very high in demand!. If there are no problems with the instrument, I would suggest taking it to any music store, and they will sell it for you, and give you most of what they get!. You could also just go and have it appraised at a music store, and pretend like you're looking to sell and then don't!. See what they'll take for it!.

The silver isn't a problem, but you may want it to be professionally cleaned before selling it!.

I would say it could go for maybe $800 - $1000!. I would set the minimum at $800, but I would expect to get more, especially if you show a picture and have a very good description of what a great instrument it is!. I truly know that you could get a lot of money for an R13 in good shape, especially with no repairs that need to be made!.

Good luck selling it!
