I got this email today from Antonio Banderas, he wants to buy my mandolin off of the classifieds.
Isn't that sweet?
This email stinks worse than Zorro.
read below...
Dear Sir,
I'm Antonio Banderas am inquiring concerning the advert placed on ads
concerning your mandolin because I'm willing to purchase it, so please kindly
get back to me with the present condition, your location and the last price
offer for the mandolin.
Alots of thanks,
Antonio.

Hey, he already showed he is a great guitar player in Desperado, or was that Esteban standing in as a guitarist double? So the mando would be a logical move. Or perhaps is thinking of a weapon that will fit nicely in a mando case. Or perhaps it is for Melanie for Christmas!

Ask him if he'd like to buy a bridge ... I know of a nice one in Brooklyn.

Hey there Howard,
I'm very good friends with Antonio Banderas and he told me that he was very much interested in purchasing your mandolin.
In fact he told me that he was going to send you a check for more than the purchase price just on good faith. When the check clears you send him his mandolin along with the amount that he overpaid you http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
Sir don't worry....

It might possibly be legit. I sold a National Reso guitar to Keith Richards in 1969 (before they were re-issued). I got a call from one of the band's roadies. I thought it was a gag, but it wasn't. The guy drove to my house, picked me up, and took me the studio where they mixing the Let It Bleed LP. I met Mick and Keith and watched the mixdown session. They also gave me free tickets to their upcoming concert. No kidding.
I REALLY enjoyed seeing Keith play my former guitar on stage.

It's not legit.
He hit ten people in about three minutes and in the process tripped a filter that notified me. I promptly contacted everyone that he replied to, blocked that address and submitted a fraud report to Yahoo. Interestingly, this one came from in the U.S. Pretty weak attempt. Assume he'll be back. Maybe he's shopping for his wife!

Hey Scott,
How do you know that he wasn't purchasing 10 different mandolins that he saw here in the classifieds? #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
After all he is Antonio Banderas and could probably afford to feed his MAS more than most of us could ever afford to.
I bet you that if he was after that Rigel Q-95, there would be know questions asked ;-)
Heck we already have one movie star that lurks around here...

I guess I need to put on my moderator hat and remind everybody that it's against official Discussion Board policy (Article XI, Subsection C, Paragraph 2) to engage in the selling of wives in this forum.
(By the way--does anyone know if a Blue Book price resource is available on these?...)

I was thinking, maybe he wants the mandos to use as "oroments" for his "Christmas train".

Hey, you can have all of them. Plus all the guitars. I'll even throw in a (glancing over shoulder) b*nj*!!
Small price to pay, I assure you.
Who's Antonio Banderas anyway? I guess I don't watch the right channels.

I think he might have been in a movie or two, as well. #<g>
However, Inigo Montoya could kick his butt.
glauber
Nov-02-2005, 6:06pm
Seriously, he's a Spanish actor (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000104/) who was in such films as Zorro and El Mariachi (did several movies in Spain before coming to the US); was married to actress Melanie Griffith. The picture i posted is from a movie called Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
The thing above about being "too sexy" was from a bizarre skit in the TV program Saturday Night Live, a couple of years ago (or more, maybe) played by Chris Kattan.

I'll trade an old Gibson or two for Antonio's wife. What's the big deal, my wife might be glad to get rid of a few mandolins. Now about Antonio's wife movin in... different story? Dan

Mark, Inigo Montoya could kick ANYONE's butt ... except for the Dread Pirate Roberts, of course. Hmm, I wonder if the man with six fingers could play the mando?

I seem to recall Dan Beimborn is the six-fingered man.

Oops, sorry, seven-fingered.

He would be the stern dude pictures in the middle of the 3 guitar slingers.
I think that he is STILL married to Melanie Griffith... They have got to have been married almost 10 years by now.
If you haven't caught him in his macho or guitar playing roles, he's a Daddy in SpyKids.
Ricardo Montelban is his fictional daddy.

Tonight, we went to see the new Spielberg movie: "Zorro", starring Antonio Banderas. (actually, it was pretty good.)
He's amazing...He's got this new movie, and he's got 'one in the can' that we saw in the previews, "Take The Lead"...... and he still has time to try to buy really cool mandolins!!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif He's The Man!
Bill, I guess that you are probably right about Mr. Montelban being his ficitonal father-in-law... I just know that he's the kids grandfather. And the two of them sure do talk alike. I guess I'll check it out the next time the kids want to watch SpyKids 2 or 3. Thanks!

Another trivia thing: Ricardo Montalban was in the previous Zorro movie ("The Mark of the Zorro", i think?). He was the villain.
