I saw an ad up on Ebay late December, for a Deagan Xylophone model 844. The BIN price (buy-it-now) according to the seller was $1500 and the auction itself had received about 30 bids.I watched it for a couple days and noticed the bid prices as well. Most were willing to pay $700-750 for that xylophone. Eventually, it was sold for $730 (great price for a Deagan!)
A quick Google search revealed that a new Deagan costs around $3,250 while a used one can be snagged for less than $800 at Ebay or Craigslist.
So, if you're planning to buy a Deagan Xylophone, there are some great deals online in the used instruments market. You can easily buy a model #830 or 844 for around $750 (plus shipping)
