That's an interesting point. The ad in the classifieds said "looking for a good home". It also said looking for trades for mandolin parts etc. I emailed with the seller. Apparently he was "phishing" for offers to gauge the possible maximum selling price - cash. He emailed me that he had a firm offer for $250 and a tentative offer for $300 from the Classifieds. So he kept the ad in the Classifieds, and put it on EBAY with a reserve of - $300. Not the use of the Classifieds that I support. I guarantee you that tailpiece will never grace my mandolin, and I hope that a moderator reads this post.

Eddie that's a good deal on that L&H. I grew up in Lynchburg, VA and knew of the Oppleman pawn shop and family. If it's in as good a shape as it appears you got a good deal! I was watching that auction to see how high it went (was never gonna bid). I love the L&H shape.

RE: the tailpiece. I've let Scott know about the duplicate sale locations.

The duplicate ad has been removed. Let's not worry about the tailpiece, rather, let us bask in the reflected glow of Eddie and his sweet new L&H. Let us know how it sounds once you get it.
