Dan B is still in recovery mode from having to return his last loaner. Now all he has is them mouse-pads.
Heh. Ok, nobody buy any mouse pads http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif It's the same Loar though!

so whats going on here??
priced at $125K, and i cant see anything other than the repro tailpiece cover.
these are suppose be going up up and away.
surely a french polish done correctly wouldnt hurt the value that much.
another question.
why has the other virzi loar not moved? i know it was at IBMA. is it just not all that, or priced to steep??
EDIT****
ok, i see the other 24 loar is gone now, dont know if it sold or was pulled by consignee. i would be upset if i had just spent $135K on that one, only to have this one come up! what a beautiful loar!!

$125k for a mouse pad? Geesh. I remember when they were 4 bucks.

I have mine! Let me highly recommend these. For the past few months nothing else has run the Cafe's wireless mouse better. None of that pukey cloth stuff comes off these babies to get balled up in the inner workings like some mouse-pads. Good stuff, and cheaper than the real thing (mandolin).

The Loar at Elderly is on hold....somebody's dream is coming true.
btw...if you get a laser mouse you don't hafta worry about the little track ball getting dirtied up ever again.
