What's this tenor worth?

I recently overhauled an old Conn M16 with nickel plated keys. It's black laquer with new pads, etc. a student horn yes, but it looks cool. Plays great especially on the low end.
Any idea what it's worth on Ebay? Thanks!

If the black lacquer was original from the Conn factory and has documents to prove its authenticity, it'll probably be worth a lot because black lacquered horns weren't common back then. However if you got it done way after the production of the horn, chances are it won't sell for much if there's a buyer. A black horn with gold keys can be purchased from Ebay for around $300.
