Stockie, I'll bet you a tenner that didge is still there in a month! In fact, if he gets $1000 I will eat my shoes :)

Colin (AboriginalArts) is selling items of far higher quality than that didgeridu and he is selling them for $2.5k. The didge on eBay may be pretty but (in my opinion) it is not worth 5k!!!

:twisted:

Hi Stockie,

Value is not something that is easily assessed especially for collectibles. As they say, an item is only worth as much as what someone is willing to pay for it.

Is this a collectible didj? I don't think so, not in my opinion anyway. The more important issue is that the description is not incorrect and that the instrument is not being represented for something it isn't.

I don't want to say that I'll also eat my shoes because they're not very tasty - but I don't think a didj like this is special or unique or worth very much.

Guan

I would rather use my money on 2 or 3 original Djalu/Larry didgeridoos isted - they are much more worth in my opinion
