Question
hi, I'm looking to get into buying and selling antique musical instruments. Any advice? Thanks
Not really.
I would think that your major competitor will be eBay. I believe that you will need to find a way to locate old items that are less expensive than you can buy them on ebay, AND be able to sell them at or below what they are sold on eBay. Or, you will have to provide some value add service in between acquisition and sale.

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.
Experience
I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
