I very nearly bid on that Harmonetta on EBay...purely because I couldn't  
see something so rare and beautiful disappear into oblivion. I'd thought that 
if  I decided not to learn to play it myself, the least I would do is bring 
it to  the next SPAH (or even GSHC) to offer it for sale there for whatever 
it cost me  on EBay, believing it should at the very least remain within 
the harmonica  community. I finally passed on it when it hit the $300 mark, 
realizing a real  player was bidding. What a fun way to get your feet wet 
bidding on EBay. 
 
I'm SO glad someone I know personally got it. What a thrill!  It's  a very 
interesting looking instrument and I have on dvd (a copy of  which was given 
to Tom Stryker and will be sent to the other participants)  a 2007 SPAH 
seminar in which Bob Herndon participated, talking about and playing  his 
harmonetta among chromatic jazz players.  I'll put you on my list  of recipients 
if you'd like.

I have wanted  a harmonetta for around 5 years.  If I outbid you,
hopefully there is no  hard feelings.  This is my first experience with
Ebay ever.  It is  very exciting.  I will keep harp-l posted on my
explorations of the  harmonetta.
