Second-hand music & instruments in Medicine Hat typically sells for C$28 to C$1,500 (about $20 to $1,100). Where and when it was built moves the figure enormously, and buyers pay close attention to the country stamped inside. A model still made today has its price capped by the new one, while a discontinued line answers to nothing but demand.
