This will give you an evil case of MAS If you don't already have it. If you do it will make it ALOT worse. I went to bid on this item but then i saw the 100 dollar shipping.

Me too, I can easily spare $24 thousand, but not $24,100...

At least I'm not alone. 24k is no biggie. but 24,100 is a HUGE stretch.

**Chris Biorkman** · Feb-01-2009, 3:29pm

That's definitely a deal breaker.

**markishandsome** · Feb-01-2009, 3:39pm

I never liked the flamey-maple pickguards personally. Probably cost about $100 to get it replaced. $24,200 is a bridge too far...

**SternART** · Feb-01-2009, 3:44pm

Man........that burst matching pickguard is a fabulous detail........no replacement required for me!

Be careful of this seller. I bid on two different mandolins from them and both times the bid was terminated due to "seller violations." I do not know exactly what this means but it scared me away!

The seller is Mitch Simpson, a member of the cafe.

**TomTyrrell** · Feb-01-2009, 4:21pm

Actually, the $100 for shipping & insurance is a mega deal!

The insurance alone would be more than that.

I love the heastock inlay. I know 2 local players that own Nuggets. They are old ones (so I guess they're not worth much). I played one last year and found it very responsive. It's been played in for over 30 years by a great player.

Everyone is in luck. It is not $24,100. It can be had for $24,095. Gentlemen, start your engines.

Im still waiting for some one to give me a Nugget...I know its gonna happen soon, I can feel it!
POOF...I woke up...

**LVH** · Feb-03-2009, 11:04am

I'm waiting for someone to give me every mandolin on my signature line. I can feel it. Oh, nevermind my dog is just licking my face

**Eddie Sheehy** · Feb-03-2009, 1:11pm

He's also got a Gilchrist for sale....

**markishandsome** · Feb-04-2009, 6:42pm

...not anymore!

**LVH** · Feb-04-2009, 6:53pm

Who bought it?

**Eddie Sheehy** · Feb-04-2009, 8:50pm

The Gilchrist is still there.

**LVH** · Feb-04-2009, 11:42pm

Nope. It sold

**Michael Cameron** · Feb-05-2009, 1:32pm

Luke,even when I send a $2500 mandolin next-day air + insurance,it's around $100. A fine instrument shouldn't spend too much time in transit.

When I sold my Nugget,I drove to the next state to hand deliver it.(gas was cheaper then).

**LVH** · Feb-05-2009, 3:58pm

Haha yes the hundred dollar shipping was a joke. Beautiful mandolin

**Eddie Sheehy** · Feb-06-2009, 12:17pm

The NUGGET and the GILCHRIST are back on...

**Gary Hedrick** · Feb-06-2009, 1:02pm

Both are back on and the Blond Kimble is gone.....gone to the Cafe Classifieds. Gone from Mitch's listing on Ebay doesn't mean sold in all cases.

He does have some nice instruments listed on Ebay at times.
