$1,500 for a 24I/25I with two bells in good condition is about the right price. I'd need to see the listing. You live in Massachusetts. If you are interested in a Connstellation at that price, I have a deal for you and I live in MA. Since you are in Holden, we could arrange delivery or even a horn audition and you wouldn't have to deal with the uncertainty. Check you PM's.
