Ebay Mandolins

[Jim M.]

I don't think I've ever seen so many high-end mandos at one time on Ebay, and some are at very low reserves. Givens, Tucker, Apitius, Duff, Smart, Heiden, and Gibson:

Sort on "Highest First". Some of these were advertised at the Cafe, but for higher prices. No financial interest (or other interest) on my part). So, what's your credit card limit? #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
