That's really not the case Jim. I have bought several trombones off ebay 
that in most cases needed a slide job(includes dedenting of the slide, a 
complete chem clean of the slide and adjustment of the slide as well 
adjustment of the end crook which is heated and rebent to they way it 
should be) which is anywhere from $65 to 80$ depending on the shop. In 
some cases it needed minor resautering work. I have never bought a horn 
from ebay or the pawn shop that needed more than $65 to $125 of work. In 
most cases it was towards the lower end.
