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.
