I just happened to see this. It's in South Korea, but shipping to U.S. is only $150. Current bid price is less than $200. A steal.

The Olds Opera trombones (O-23 and O-25) are greatly under-appreciated (probably because they are scarce). If in good condition, all they need is a bigger, better mouthpiece than the undersized Olds 15 they were supplied with.
