King 606SP (Silver-Plated)?
Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2023 3:05 pm
I was just browsing Facebook marketplace and found a listing for a (seemingly) silver/silver-plated King trombone listed around $500 under "King Trombone". There aren't any closeup pictures of the bell/engravings so I reached out and asked if they know what model it is and if they can send me a picture of the bell markings to see and they said they're not home but that it is a 606.
I can't really find any good information or comparisons of the 606 to 606SP, even the Conn-Selmer website doesn't have a picture up of the SP model. I imagine these aren't super common horns, but does anyone know what they could be valued at or if it would even be worth entertaining trying to haggle the price? I don't think many used 606's would be worth $500+shipping for me personally.
I'm not sending any considerations their way until they send some more clear photos, since I know that certain lighting can make normal lacquer look silver-ish but I'm pretty sure this is really silver-plated.
