I don’t know a clue about a violin. This one’s in beautiful shape, my friend who passed away had it so I’m getting rid of all his belongings. The tag inside the box says $500. I don’t know what it’s worth it could be worth that I don’t know only a violinist will know. As for shipping, I’ve been dealing with Ebay for over 20 years and I don’t make any money on shipping so it has a price on this, but I don’t know what the shipping is for whoever is interested what I’ll need is your ZIP Code and I can bring it to the post office and weigh it and give you the exact cost of shipping . You must be aware that anything is sell on eBay. They take a percentage so whatever the shipping is I’m probably gonna add five dollars. Hopefully it’s worth a lot of money and somebody gets a good deal and enjoys this beautiful piece of Music equipment I’m gonna start with $250. And see what it brings.
