Go to the auction of the music box if possible if possible; not necessarily to sell but how much did you sell for how much, but for something it feels like a nice box for things but for sale If you are actually interested in buying a particular music box, from the dealer, check out the box with a private seller or auction and probably advise repair costs before buying it. Repair costs can be itemized; a good description of the box where a potential customer who is sent an email or wrote to me needs repair (I do not charge for this and I do not do most restorers, neither do most restorers; if the customer continues, buy a box give advice and we all wish for work.box is a particularly good example If there is a high possibility that it is expensive to purchase, it made them checked out with the seller's address as they go, I did this; something of some interest to him buying Armed collectors with potential repair expenses made apart are sold to a very strong position
