Seller quickly took it down before I saw this post and could click buy it now:). I asked if it’s available and this is what the seller wrote:
“ Yes but the price I listed is the wrong price. The tuba will be up for sale again soon after I check in with an appraiser :)”

I had just put in an offer, too!
Pretty close to me, was hoping to do local pickup.

Likely somebody pointed out the lowball price.

I met with this seller today and gave them an honest opinion. It's a 1964 Miraphone 186 BBb. Besides being spray painted gold, it is in very nice shape. Bell has never been rolled out(!), slides all move, valves all move, slide pulling demonstrates good valve compression, just needs some new linkages and a water key to get going. I dumped out a bunch of paper and pencils from the horn.
I mentioned this website as an outlet to sell once they get it straightened out.
