At the time the list price was 4500 for a 186, the going price was about $2800-3000. This was in the late 70's. The last I saw a list price (which was about four years ago), it was about $9800 for a 186, with the going price about $4500. This is exclusive of the occasional blow-out sales, and so on. List prices for 186's have been as high as about $11K.

When I was just getting back into tuba playing in about 1984, the going rate for a Miraphone 186 was about $3500 or a hair more. Too much for me at the time.

Mike Russo probably has some old Brasswind catalogs lying around from those days, and they have always included both list and sales prices for most tubas listed.
