I found it on eBay, I'm not posting because one of y'all might buy it out from under me blaugh if you really wanted it you could search for it anyway...
It's a "vintage" (old) Bundy resonite (plastic) clarinet that was pretty much played by this guy for a few months in 4th grade then stuck back in the case and never used again.
35 bucks plus 15 shipping says it's mine. I need a clarinet to practice on, I just care that it makes decent sounds (student instrument would be fine).
Good deal, though?

Knowing how things are on there,it's probably a piece of crap.

good lord no don't get it! My friend got a clarinet for 100 dollars and it has NO brand and it sounds like crap x_x!
plastic clarinets are NOT good, unless you're going to marching band, but crappy plastic clarinets will HARM you! You won't get a 'decent' sound out of it, you'll get this ugly evil sound from it.'
seriously, DON'T get it! it's 50.00 and a clarinet you've never heard of played by a FOURTH GRADER! he could have KILLED his own clarinet! I mean I'm in seventh grade but we take good care of our instruments--we're caught dead holding instruments like that, its like getting a clarinet from costco or something o_O;

Honestly, I really only care that the bell, the mouthpiece (which I can replace) and that little mouthpiece connecty bit are okay. I have a bundy most-of-a-clarinet with a broken mouthpiece that I found in an old classroom the other day. It had probably been sitting there for years.
What I'm looking for IS a plastic-ish clarinet, honestly. I want something to carry around and play for the sheer hell of it. I used to do that with a flute, but then the person that OWNED IT (dagnabbit) decided they wanted it back. My sax is too big to carry around often.

Mine was an old selmer/conn from the 60's that hadn't been played for a good 20 years or so. Make sure you see pictures, as there might be corrosion, and inquire as to the condition of the pads. The one I got had mites, so every pad had to be removed and the case thrown out. A full repad will cost more than that little clarinet is worth, so don't get ti.

*drool* Wow, 50 bucks? But yeah, I don't think buying it would be good only cause you have no idea about it's condition or that sort of stuff.

My first clarinet was like a 35$ one off ebay. Some brand called simba. And it worked great!.... the first few months. After getting into some really intense practicing, I outplayed it! Just the air and sound blowing through it caused it to start falling apart! Now it's just another donation for our school's drama dept's props hehe.

I got it today. by the time you all said "don't buy it" I had already bid!he was right htough, the thing's barely been played. There's some wear and a bit of a chip on the bell, but nothing serious. The original mouthpiece is missing, but he included a yamaha and a Mitchell Lurie (which looks pretty expensive, and is probably nearly worth the price I paid for the whole thing!). It plays wonderfully, I think I'll start writing for it soon. I'm having a bit of trouble using the "octave+5" key, but that's because I'm not used to it, I think. I'll have to practice more than...say, 3 hours in my entire life to be able to do that.
All in all, this is an incredible deal. I'm glad I bought it.

$50!?!?! Don't even click the Buy button. It's just a plain old rip off. A good instrument would cost more. And it might have damages on the keys or something. If I were you, go with an Opus I heard they're good. But only from my director and he's a good clarinetist believe me.
