a fair amount. 300+ booths with about 25% having some sheet music in them. I had a store 20 some years ago and we had lots, as did most stores back then.

I just checked ebay this week. When a piece of sheet music still sells for $900, it's still good (IMO) to comb through the piles looking for those gems.

Generally, though, for most sheets the value has dropped since I started selling in 1996.

I've got a couple waiting to be priced . . . if I ever get around to cleaning them up. Both have their inserts which is a plus.

Both had nice inserts. One missing a leather strap and both could have the wood and hardware cleaned up. Both went out the door for $150 each.

long horn steer chair made from horns. The leather upholstery was toast. Sold for a little over a grand. Sold another one a couple of months ago for about the same price.

Also a few have been in looking for nice spurs and other cowboy stuff.
