You didn`t post the total length of the violin !!  That would be important to your sale and would distinguish a full size from  a 3/4 or smaller student size !! If you use Ebay be sure to put a reserve price on it !! There is one good violin group that I found who are very experienced with antique stringed instruments !! I will try to find a link for you !!  Sometimes the history adds to the worth so be sure to get all the info you can and post it with the violin !!

i am an ebay seller, i sell lots of collectibles so i go to flea markets a lot.
i meat a guy here with an amazing violins collection and he wants me to help him sell it, so this is the first one he wants to sell.
i was wondering if its good for ebay or maybe an auction house is a better way to go.
BTW the violin sounds amazing and its from israel so theres a good chance that it was brought here by a WW2 survivor.
here are some more pictures.

I think it's an excellent violin for Ebay, a collectable case which would increase value and make it easier to ship ( it's not going to break and the violin won't be damaged ! )

The market for violins on Ebay is strong and this, though a copy and in need of restoration, is quite scarce

I listed a violin on ebay about a year ago, expecting £300, and a US buyer paid £420 after the violin attracted plenty of interest even though it was a late 19th century copy of an 18th century violin.

Use all 12 photos, give dimensions etc

If you PM me when you've listed it, i can post the link on a violin collectors forum.
