The WW & BW is listing a Leblanc 340 contra as used for $4,100:

"Very good condition. Pads are good litle tarnish on keys few scratches on body."

With case, no mouthpiece.

The last woodwind and Brasswind catolog I checked has a Bb Contrabass
by leblanc which was listed at $2,400. And it was new! That's a bad
price ofr a used instrument.

I think you're thinking of the Vito contra, which is resin with range
to low Eb.  The Leblanc 340 is the curved metal (professional) model,
with range to low D or C.  List price is now something like US$12K,
WW&BW price about US$7K.
