To get a violin with decent strings, good set-up, correct bridge and soundpost placement, fitted pegs, and an ok bow is going to cost about $250 minimum. Anything much less than that is just going to frustrate you with the poor sound and not staying in tune problems.I'd stay away from eBay. Don't buy a violin without playing it first - no matter how good it looks, there may well be something wrong with it. There are a few online shops that give you a trial period before you pay to determine if the instrument is right for you. I'd recommend - I got my violin from them, and I love it. They give you two weeks without paying to decide if it's for you. No such thing.
