I have bought '3' instruments from Sweden, I have used IBAN transfer each time. It is easy. It is doubly easy if you have a wife like mine to do it for you. On the issue of return and back up, my...

Hi Alan, I'm new to the Mandolin too and Uk based. I'm new to anything that isn't whistling, in truth so no expert on anything much, but, what I have found - for what it is worth - is that playing...

A few months ago I had an 'interest', like you do...... in a very nice mahogany Ukulele in a local Auction House by La Foley, who was a very good London maker of Uke's back in the early 20th C. I...

Hey Leo....here is a compatriot of yours hoping to get nearly $4,000 for a $120 instrument ! It just goes to show that all the dreamers haven't given up hoping...... I mean they are nice,...

You are not in Bristol are you Jamminjames.......

I think they are one of the best(ish) kept secrets out there....but occasionally people let the cat out of the bag ;)

I have just rung the (genuine) Ebayer. He's an elderly Gent, runs his operation to support his pension. He's had a day and a half on to Ebay to try to get the bogus listings deleted from his...

The link is to an Ebayer in the Uk, with a supposed shipping location from China, but an item location in Cyprus, USA.

I hit the report button too....

The Seller name on the sold history relates to someone in Sussex, Uk.......this listing appears to have hi-jacked their account.

....typical Mandolin ( or I suppose Banjo ?) shaped hard case, but with internal measurements of 37.5" top to toe and a body/bout width of 15".

I was looking for an odd sized one after a dose of...

...Tri Colour....not corner...my bad....

There are dozens....probably into hundreds of 'Riddle Songs' in the 'english' tradition (inc the rest of the Uk, no doubt )

A shame we can't get that Bill......anyone who has a version of The Unquiet Grave on their playlist is someone I'd like to hear....

When I was first researching my USAAF model, I was wondering what wood it was. I found these refs.
The 1919 catalogue 'suggests' there may have been 'all' mahogany versions, but, it may just have...

....and for my two'pennuth Hank, being in a similar position and stage as you, I find the best way to learn the tune I am 'on' is to start learning the next one ( or just another one )

Jim......you are a star!.....I had searched on all the likely options and come up with a blank, and there you go....'Bingo'.

I had found various bowed 'lap' Viol's but they always seemed to have...

....another quirky local auction listing and more Uke than Mando but listed as a Viol Mandolin Hybrid with a horribly high estimate! The Viol(in) part has one of those dodgy labels dating it to 17...

Hi both......thanks for those suggestions. I have seen the one listed at HG. I appreciate they have overheads to maintain but I find it difficult to see the rationale in some of their pricing...

What would be a reasonable valuation/market price, irrespective of location in the world, so a $ price is easiest I'd guess, for a little played, in very good to excellent order 2004 Breedlove Quartz...

Another point to bear in mind, certainly as far as the Uk and Europe is concerned is that when you look at the 'small print' in the Courier contract you will invariably find that as far as insurance...

...and whatever, be careful re import duties this end. It is likely, on valuation alone, to get picked up on arrival in the Uk when you will get stung for 20% VAT and a 'handling charge' for the...

I have 100% seen that before somewhere recently, I recall that Saturn and Moon logo......probably Ebay or Gumtree.....not much help, I know......but it may have been the same one, so a one off.

Well, it didn't get a single/buying bid at what equated to $2,300, which given comments here isn't surprising.

Some of the photo's I asked the vendor for to help with ID here, got added to the...

To be honest, this began to feel like an advert.....:popcorn:
